Deuvel or MBL

I am converting an unsed bedroom to a secondary music room for casual listening when I don't have my main system fired up in another part of the house. The bedroom is 10'W x 13'L x 8'H. This is a mid-fi system, I not looking to invest as I have in the mainsystem. I am looking at omni directional speakers, specifically the Deuvel Jupiter (used), Deuvel Venus (used too) or a used pair of MBL 121s which I have seen a few times at prices below $5K. I'd like to also drive the speakers with tube integrated amplification.

Has anyone heard any of these speakers and do you feel they will work in this diminutive space to listen to jazz and world music?. And if you have suggestions on tube amplification, I'd be appreciative for these thoughts as well.

Smaller Ohms like the MWT might be a good omni chice for your space. I use the larger 100s which would probably be a tight fit in those dimensions. I don't have direct experience with the MWT, so I'm just guessing here. There's a large thread on the speaker that you might want to look at.
