Best speakers for a small room

What amp will you use with them? What are your sonic priorities? 

In general, smaller speakers will work best. Setup will be a big consideration. Most speakers sound much better pulled out at least 3ft. from the front wall. So if that's not an option, avoid rear ports especially, and look for designs made to be used near the wall. Their aren't many but there are a few good ones. Larsen and Audio Note are the first that come to mind. Many Devores work well in smaller spaces. 

The more you share about what you prioritize, the more helpful the responses will be. Cheers,

Dynaudio Heritage Special, you can now get them with the stand 20 included which I highly recommend.  But, just my opinion.

Not a big room to fill and dimensions may not be optimal so I would narrow it down by keeping budget under $1000. KEF LS50 or similar sized passives or small powered nearfield studio monitors.

Where are you sitting in the room? How far can you place the speakers from the back wall?  How far away are you sitting from the speakers?  Can you sit facing diagonally reducing the direct reflections (for the best sound)?   Is this a dedicated listening room or a multi-purpose room?  How loud do you want to play and what music do you listen to?

Altec VOTT A7s would allow you to listen to music from the inside out but not very practical. Depending upon the source you're going to power them with the Omega Super Alnico High Output Monitor could work very well.
