how big a speaker can you put in an 11 x 11 room?

this is why i love ag....good honest opinion (and fairly price highend audio/folks to buy stuff I dont use)...many sales people have been recommending many big speakers for this room. I have been an easy target as it's the only room in the house i can use a floorstander. I actually have a 20x20 room with 15 ft ceiling...but due to the built-ins in the room..and my wife..i cant use floorstanders so i have a pair peakconsult princess (just the monitor) with a REL sub which i love...so i was hoping that i could upgrade my virgos to a more lifelike, thicker sounding floorstander..obviously i have no intention of buying a speaker that will not perform well in this space..thanks for the advice....

as i said , the very first response, arro totem with storm sub...at 1100 for both on audiogon, no brainer, i tell you the arro in that room may not need a sub...you could add that later....750 for arro totem ,,,.yes....dwhitt

Search the forums for threads on speakers that work well when placed directly against the wall.

The biggest speaker that I would consider that could work well, if you have 2 corners available for them, are Klipschorns.

I would love to try them in my 12X12 room. Someday I may.

I have owned and auditioned both the Arro and the Ohm Micro Walsh Talls in a smallish room. Both are wonderful in their own ways, but I'm with Mapman on this one: the Ohms are ome of the great bargains of high-end audio and well worth a risk-free audition! They are also very easy to place. I found the Totems fussier.
