Small room amp and speakers recommendation

I have an area in allocated in my new house for a listen room that is approximately 7ft x 12ft x 10 ceilings....i know it's small, hut it's all mine away from the kids. I am look for advice/recommendations on an amp and speakers for that area. I want to keep the budget under $5k (the lower the better). I listen to a lot of vinyl and a majority or my preferred music is acoustic with some rock mixed in on occasion. Please let me know what you think and if you have an other questions on my desired set-up.
Thank you

dwmaggie,

Could Magnepan LRS be positioned sufficiently far from each other in this room? They are almost 15 inch width each. If they are at any distance from the side walls, they may be really close to each other. Aside from that, I was quite surprised how good they sounded. In a bigger room, that is. I have not heard them in a small one.

I used to have a room almost exactly that size, except higher. No matter what I put in, it was not that great. Until I figured out the room itself.

Maybe someone more adept at it could guide you through the room treatments (which may make your room noticeably smaller, by the way). Size of the speakers will, obviously, matter. Bigger may not be better.
