Best speakers for small listening room

I'm new to audio and am setting up a mid-priced system for my home office. The space is small (11'x11'x8'). I currently have B&W 803 Matrix, Sound Anchor stands, Plinius 8150i, Creek CD-43, Harmonic Tech truthlinks and Pro-9s. Would stand mounted speakers (JMLabs micro utopias or the Dynaudio Confidence 3's) be a good choice for this small space? Thanks.

Hammy,
My small office is carpeted, has an upholstered and padded wall behind the system, bookshelves and two upholstered chairs. I just wondered whether better-quality, small speakers would make more sense than the Matrix 803's.
Thanks for all of the input. Joel

Paulwp . . . thanks for the input. I do like to B&W's and don't have any experience with other speakers in my small area to compare. I'd just like the bass to be "tighter". I've played with the setup and have the back of the speaker about 18" away from the back wall. Since it is an office, I don't have much flexibility. I don't really understand the "standing wave" thing. Joel
