Help! need informed opinion


I am looking for some help in speaker considerations.
My room is 14’ wide 16’ long.
There will be a 12’ vaulted ceiling.

speaker placement can be 12” to 36” from rear wall.
listening position about four to six feet from speakers (nearfield).

I am looking for small bookshelf (on stands) speaker set up.

I prefer rather neutral sound..I play everything from classical to jazz, to Rock.
I do not care for exagerrated highs or lows, need tight well controlled bass and nicely balanced midrange.

i have narrowed things to a few somewhat conventional speakers
Aerial 5t, Dynaudio special 40, Revel M126be

there’s one intriguing option I am considering.
Audience 1+1 v3 (with a subwoofer..REL ?)

any thoughts would really help!

thanks in advance

Sonus Faber Olympica Nova 1 is a good solid moderate cost speaker. Excellent rendition of all kinds of music, nice looking. Of course there are also better ones. 

What are your electronics? Also, do you want to be making a step up… then bring the rest of your system along?
