Near-wall placement is almost a necessity in smaller rooms like yours. Find out which speakers are designed for near-wall placement in a small room, buy them.

Sjöfn ( the Clue ) or Guru Juniors ...
Almost any quality mini will sound good in any size room when they are pulled away from the walls. The OP has bass traps, however, and this suggests he is need of some low frequencies that minis can't achieve (but those you mentioned do give the impression of lower bass than they actually can reproduce).
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.
The Sjofn and Guru speakers are designed to go below 40 hz. if they are set up properly. Why do think that they'd "give the impression of lower bass than they actually can reproduce"?
I'v heard both, and i found it amazing that they could sound so good at the low end in view of the volume inside the cabinets. I think the "setup" is the key.

You seem to be saying that some speakers achieve deep bass extension primarily through boundary reinforcement, rather than driver/cabinet dimensions.
If so, I agree.
And some use both. Another way is to add a hump in the bass.

Okay, im pretty set on AN J
I have huge floor to ceiling 14 inch bass traps, so the bass is well controlled, but the AN E seems too big anyway
I will go with AN J
Anyone has a pair to sell me :)
..., but no AN Js. Too bad...However, you might try contacting asylum inmate "RGA". Look him up in the member's directory, he's "Nuts for Audio Note" and he always seems to know when there's a deal floating around.
