Speakers for a small room

@yogiboy good to know. I would much rather some floor standers for the added extension. 

@gdnrbob i have never heard vandy speakers. I will need to hear their sound at some point. People seem to love them. We will see if their sound agrees with me. 

My room is 11' x '16 x '10. I spent 2 years learning room acoustics and treating my room. I spent another 2 years going through speakers that were too big for my room (e.g., Golden Ear T2). A year and a half ago I got a pair of Kef Ls50s. Last week I finished dialing them in. They are incredible. I'm very happy with what I'm hearing now. 

Ultrek BINGO! 

This is exactly the coaching we expouse. If the total volume of the room is small, then you need monitors that will not over load the room with bass. 

Ideally you would not want a speaker with bass that is lower than mid 30 hz bass response. 

So a great pair of monitors is what you want. Then is depends on the type of music you like and what you are drawn to.

There are more articulate monitors and more rounded musical ones, if you are using a Pass which tends to the warm and bloomy side then you should look at more articulate monitors. 

You can look at smaller floorstanders with out very deep bass as well.

One of the most incredible speakers that you can get in this price point is the Quad Z3 roughly $3k or the larger Z4 at $4k, these speakers offer an incredible ribbon tweeter, a stunning midrange and thorow a huge soundstage. 

They would match the Pass really well. Would need to know more about your musical tastes and the rest of the system.

Also the point source of the ls50s helps make for better imaging especially in a smaller room in close quarters.
