Far from a linear "correct" frequency response, but I reckon a pair of small book shelf speakers that are very detailed paired with a small sub might be a good option. You get the energy and a bit of room filling from the sub and the information from the bookshelves. You can also tune it to your needs, varying the two levels.
Or buy the 12.1s and use the loudness button on your amp.

I’ve had my Cambridge audio bookshelf speakers for 15 years. I’m thinking it might be time to get some new ones. I’ve got quite a small living room, live in a terraced house and have a toddler so I can’t listen to music as loud as I used to/would like (thankful for headphones). I’ve seen good reviews I’d the wharefedale diamond 9.1 and 12.1 but was wondering if anyone had some first hand experience of the different in loudness. Essentially, my conundrum is do I need the more expensive ones.
