Best speakers for a small room? 10'X14'

Greetings all! I need some advice. I just moved my system into a "dedicated" listening room. Only problem is that it's definitely on the small side 10'X14'). I'm thinking about selling my Hales Concept 2's and finding something that's more appropriate for this small room.

It's unlikely that I'll be able to spend much (if any) more than what I'll get for the Hales (~$1,000?). So what's a good speaker (doesn't matter if it's a floorstander, monitor, planar) for this sized room? I'm afraid of buying anything that's ported (especially rear). What are your thoughts??

BTW - I have plenty of power (Classe DR-9), so I can drive just about anything.

Thanks for your help!

Check out the Epos M12 monitor.

What HiFi, a British audio magazine that rates equipment against other equipment in its price range, gave it top honors amongst strong competition (Dynaudio, etc), including floorstanders.

It's been updated somewhat from its previous version, the ES12, which Stereophile gave a Budget Component of the Year award to, I think in Dec. 1997.

Wonderful high-end sound for under $900 retail. Very nicely scaled for smaller rooms. The rear port shouldn't be a problem--they do well near rear walls.
