For something small, check out the offerings from Elac. I dont own them but a friend owns a hifi shop and ive heard them....very nice and at a very nice price. quite small and unobtrusive

For something a little bigger, I am lusting after a set of Wharfdale Linton speakers with matching stands lately.

I remember the 901's-- used to sell them as a teenager, and used to listen to them at frat parties.
I have never been a huge fan of Bose speaker products, but I respect the contributions Bose has made. I know people that had him as a professor at MIT.
If I were going to consider something really small and modern, I'd listen to the little KEFs as part of my auditioning mix. I have read great things about them from sources I trust.
Speaker recommendations are really hard of course,. I suspect that during this pandemic there may a greater number of ways to audition at home.
