Speakers for 8.5 x 11 room?

I would reccomend the Ohm Micro Talls. these would truly shine in a room that size.
Check out the thread on the micros and read the comments

Your room dimensions are very close to mine, 12' x 8'. And yet, I'm getting very good results with a pair of merlin VSM-MX.

Speakers are 3' from front wall, approx. 2' from side walls, and I'm sitting over 5' closer to 6' from speakers.

So far, the room is not treated, except for carpeted floor.

The results are very satisfying.

North Creek music makes "near wall specific" designs for smaller rooms that sound very good, and one might work for you. Just a hunch, but speakers that go closer to walls might be a better way to go than extreme near field listening. If you search "north creek" or "near wall" here, you will finds lots of suggestions.

Another thought might be a single driver speaker; you could avoid driver integration issues, at least. People around here like Tekton Lores; I had a pair of Brines that sounded good and played close to walls, but were big.
