The Audio Note AX Two might work well here and runs $700. It will happily compete with everything I've heard at $2k beating most - they simply didn't waste piles of money on fancy cabinets and glossy catalogs and spent practically zero money on marketing them. Audio Note speakers love corners basically using the wall as an extension of the speakers so you always get far better bass than size would otherwise indicate. You may still need a sub but placed in a corner you might be very much surprised what you get out of them. They sound better on piano than any other $1000 speaker yes that is including the MMG under $1k. I didn't much care for the AX One however so the extra money to me is worth it.
Other speakers that are sealed or front ported can work - I'm just not a fan of the sound of some of them. An old Celestion in corners sounded very good to me as well and could be had cheap used and may have enough grunt not to need a sub. The Audio Note K/Spe is sealed infinite baffle design with 90db sensitivity and easy load. In the corner it produced bass below 40hz but new it runs $3k. But you would not need a sub in a small room.
The AX Two is pictured in the link with some description - scroll down - see they are very plain jane with boring cabinets - but...
