Need help with Speaker selection. Starter System.

I'm looking for a little help with speaker suggestions. I've narrowed the amp down to a Simaudio I-3, and the CD to a Denon 1650AR (used and great price). Cables and I/C's will be inexpensive $200 or so. My listening room is smaller 11'x 8' and I listen to wide variety of music. Mostly Jazz, Pop/Rock etc. Budget for speakers is $2,000. So far I liked the JM Lab Cobalt 826's (Demo's for $1,950) but I think they may be to large for the room. I also liked the B&W DM603's (very detailed) but also to large for the room. HELP! Has anyone listened to the PSB Image 5T?

The CDM 9NT is one of the few good speakers B & W has made IMWO (in my worthless opinion) and you could do much worse.
I would suggest going with these speakers and saving some money to improve the front end as it is much more important to the quality of the sound of your system.
You did not mention what you are using for the source, but this is where you want to invest the majority of your budget.
Good speakers are important but not as much as a good source.
