What is the best loudspeaker for a small room?

I have a very small audio room, 16 ft (L) X 14ft (W) X 8 ft (H). What are my options if I want a floor standing loudspeakers? Of course price is an issue but maybe I can equate the price later on based on the performance of the speaker. I enjoy listening to almost all types of music using pass labs pre xp20 and power xa100.5 amps.

I have a similar size room and am using PSB Synchrony One towers with great results. I use a MF M3 Nuvista Integrated with 275watts of power,and can achieve lifelike volume and impact with no problem. 16 x 14 is not a small room, and really quite a nice size for a dedicated listening room. enough room to get back from the speakers to let them consolidate the sound, and to load the room while still being small enough for intimate listening. Previously I used PSB Stratus Gold for good results.

I didn't know I have lots of choices. Brands and models I'm not familiar with . . . but that will be a good start. I guess I have enough time to look for the technical specs and compare them. Process of elimination will begin once I have the price. Thanks a lot guys!

Agreed, not that small of a room when you consider 15x20 average. However, it all depends on how the room is configured and what furnishings. After downsizing I have a similar size room and I can tell you it has been a challenge. After trying numerous speakers I ended up with Revel M22 and a REL subwoofer.

The best speaker in the world is the speaker you like the best, period.
Next time you might ask what are some of your favorite speakers for a medium sized room?
I missed you budget but some used Sophias by Wilson would be nice if you have the electronics for them.
Do you like any particular type of sound? Some might say Harbeth if you like that British type sound? You understand I am sure.
