how big a speaker can you put in an 11 x 11 room?

Most any Totem would disappear even in that size room. Good call. I think you'll get the best from the Model 1 Sig, if your budget allows... but whether the Arro, Staff or Hawk, you should be good.

I have a 10x10 room with 9 ft ceilings and am using Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grands . This switch to a smaller room and nearfield listening is new to me. Having less side room reflection has brought much more musical enjoyment.
Good luck

If you size your choice accordingly, you could easily reposition your speakers to voice out the 6ft opening when entertaining in that area. Mobility of previously mentioned sub unit (great suggestion BTW) would be helpful too since some feel a sub can be very directional above an 80Hz x-over. Practicality of gear location and cable runs will come into play of course. If there is any chance the system may end up in the bigger room someday, that may seriously influence your choice of speaker.

Thanks....I presently have Virgo IIIs which do a nice job, though, i have become a huge fan of the Elipsas and the Revel SAlon2s so I have been ready to upgrade...but I dont think either will lend to the room...though I am a big fan of nearfield listening..the Elipsas are warm...in a room this small they may be a bit heavy...
