What is the best speaker for a small room 10X11


I'm lucky enough to have a dedicated listening room (WAF is not a factor), but I'm wondering if my Dunlavey SC3''s are the right choice... room is 10X11 with 9' ceilings..

I listen to a bit of everything, but most interested in jazz & blues.

Thanks,
brent

Speaker placement and room dampening should suffice...I would experiment with this before investing in any new gear...to move beyond Dunlavy is no easy task...and more difficult since they went out of business...first off...if you have a hard surface...get a large rug...and a few rugs or sound absorbing materials on at least one side wall...start by by placing the speakers 4ft from the back wall...this should give enough depth...and most designers with first order networks recommend a listening distance of at least 6 ft...which would put your listening position at the other end of the room...and place the speakers 4-5 ft apart which should leave about 2ft or more from the sides...I wouldnt bother toeing them in...fire them straight forward...this will minimize side-wall reflections...dont waste money on an EQ...and I think u will be pleasantly surprised...your speakers also have another advantage...they are a sealed design...so the rear out of phase wave is dissipated quickly...ported designs might be problematic in this tight space...
