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've got a 10x9x8 room, and am using JA Pulsars on Sound Anchors stands with a JL Audio e110 subwoofer. Jeff Joseph set up the speakers in my room personally. When I asked him whether the Perspectives would be a better fit, he was adamant that the Perspectives would overload a small room and he felt that the Pulsars would be perfect. Jeff was right! He could have sold me the more expensive Perspectives, but he's a man of integrity and wanted me to have the best sound for my application. I would stick with the Pulsars ... I'm very pleased with mine.
I suggest that you give Jeff Joseph a call at (800) 474-4434 to get his opinion. Jeff is a great guy and, since he designed the speakers, there's probably nobody better qualified than him to give you the lowdown for your situation.
