Joseph Audio Pulsars with REL Sub or Perspectives in 11x11 Room?

I am a big Joseph Audio fan since the RM22's . . . Always have loved the house sound.  I am currently running Pulsars on Sound Anchor stands with a REL Storm sub in a small listening room; only 11 x 11 x 11.  I have an opportunity to upgrade to a set of Perspectives.  Can any of you Perspective owners give me some quick thoughts on whether the Perspectives would be too much for such a small listening room?  The loudest that I really listen to them is measured at about 86db at my chair, very rarely more than 90 db.  I run them with a PrimaLuna Dialogue HP (75 watts) or a Plinius SA100 MK III.  Some quick input would be appreciated!

I don't know if the Perspectives would be to much as opposed to the Pulsars plus sub. My room is about 14 x 18 x 12 vaulted ceiling , the Perspectives work very well with my listening position 10 feet away. I listen at modest levels as well. With that high ceiling and some room treatment I think they could work not sure how much of an upgrade it would be though.

Never heard the Pulsars but I would think coherence. I don't have an ideal room either. I have done what treatments I could then got an Anthem STR using room correction which Softened the bass is the most noticeable improvement, I am not a fan of boomy bass.

Mine are about 2 feet off the wall with 2'x4' 2inch thick absorption panels behind.

A 10x9x8 room is 720 cubic feet, a 11x11x11 room is 1331 cubic feet. I can see where a 720 cu ft room could be to small but a 1331 cu ft room might not. You're both augmenting the low end with a subwoofer. The question is would the Perspectives be too much without the subwoofer at least that's what I am assuming. With room absorbing for first reflections and maybe some room correction if that's something the OP might be willing to try I can see them working in a 1331 cu ft room.
