Kbo,
I have a listening room almost exactly the same size (not by my choice), 9.5 x 12.5. There have been many good suggestions above - I used a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1s at first. They worked very well, I just didn't have any bass below 50Hz or so.
A better option might be to treat the room so that you could use speakers with a fuller range. A little room treatment will make a huge difference in a room of your size and provide you with more speaker options.
