Take a look at Spendor S3e, even the S6e. Neither will have boomy bass. I had S6e for a while and now have S8e. My room is smallish, too (13' x 15') and I very much value fast, articulate bass. I owned Dynaudio 52SE about a year ago and I had Audience 62 several years ago. The Spendor Se series has IMO a "faster" (more damped) bass region, is much easier to drive and is similarly voiced as Dyn, if not a bit more "laid back". I found Dyns boomy overall, too. I suspect the issue with Dyns is that they need a big SS amp with good damping factor and good current into lower impedances to get the best out of them. I own Naim, which is more quality over quantity as far as watts and I found the 52SE, for example, was boomy in the midbass driven by a Naim Nait5i at 50 watts per channel. Also, although the Focus series is easier to drive than the typical Dyn, they're still 4 ohm speakers in the bass region and that I suspect that causes excess bass since it's calling for a lot more power out of the amp in the bass region than in the mids and treble.
