Speakers for a small room

I am looking to build a list. What would you say are the best speakers for a small room? Why? Price is up to 6.5k new or used. Room is 11ft x 16ft with 7ft10 ceilings. Thanks!

vandersteen Treo CT.....hyper musical
or a used set of Quattro, would be spectacular with your amp and 11 bands of analog EQ to address room issues in the bass...

While I haven't heard that many speakers above the $4k mark, I would agree with tomic that the Treo CT is a very fine speaker. They occasionally come up on the used market for around $5,500.

Good luck!

Why do you require small speakers?

I had my Gershman Acoustics Sonogram floor standers in a 12 x 15 x 8 room and they were great.

If it's a size issue then the Neat Motive line has some great small floor standing models.

The Gershman Acoustics Avant Garde Are also very good and quite small

I like floor standing models because then I do not have to fuss with a stand.

Thanks all for the comments so far. @williewonka it does not need to be a small speaker, it just has to work in a small room. If I can get a tower speaker that others have had success within a smaller room I would prefer that over bookshelves with a sub. But if that is the way it must be than so be it.
