moto man,
I own the Perspectives, using them in a 13 x 15 room. They work great in the room, but they do put out plenty of bass. It's well controlled in my room, but then it's a good room acoustically and also has a wide opening to a hallway. Hard to predict for your room, but if you have good room for adjusting seating and speaker positions I can see them working there (that is having the Perspectives well off the walls).
In some ways the Pulsars with subs would be "easier" to get the bass right...but that depends on how much work and fussiness you are good with. It's work and fidgiting to dial in subs really well, and it's extra speakers, extra cables, extra AC connections, extra aesthetics.
I actually have subs too but haven't used them because of all that and because the Perspectives do such deep satisfying bass.
