I also have a small room (11x12). Have tried several different speakers. Two that have worked well in this room are Linn Tukans and Tyler Acoustics "Taylo" Reference Monitors. The Tukans are no longer available, but occasionally come around on Audiogon. You may have luck with the replacement for them called "Katan". They probably work just as well, Linn speakers are made to be placed close to tthe wall.
I am currently using the Taylo Reference Monitors in that room. They are fantastic, front ported, no boom, but plenty of bass for a small room.
Good Luck
