Best Smaller Bookshelf Speakers For Use Exclusively With Ambient Music?

As the title says, these speakers will be used in a small room (10x12) exclusively for listening to ambient music. Think Eno, Will Ackerman, Sigur Ros, Ludovico Einaudi, Dead Can Dance, Enya, George Winston, etc. 

This is an important purchase as I listen to 2.5-3 hours of this music, six nights a week, to wind down from stressful work days. 

Thanks for any assistance with this.

There are a nice pair of Quad S2's also out there. Any idea how they compare with the 12L2?

Original KEF LS50s.  Beautiful detail and midrange.  Can be found used for under $1k.  Hard to beat!

To answer the previously asked question, the amplification will be provided courtesy of a near mint, 1970's Optonica SM-4646 that is currently being serviced and refurbished completely. This was their top of the line at the time and received multiple very prestigious rewards.

KEF LS50 is what we replaced with S3000 from cheapie chi-fi Edifier, and our mind is blown. We find ourselves gravitating to this hidden gem more than our much more expensive Accuphase / Dynaudio Contour setup in the living room upstairs.
