Build me a system for my 11' by 15' room

budget $300 for DIY room acoustic treatments, and build that first. see jon risch's web site for details.

see my rig; i'm in the same size room as you, and you'll see that room treatments are extensive, and allow the room to act much bigger than otherwise, enabling a host of speaker options that would otherwise be precluded.

fwiw, your listening preferences should dictate speakers. but imagine merlins VSMs would be a nice match.
