The New Amati G5 or Joseph Audio Pearl Graphene
Thanks jomonhifi!   (I was going to thank Charles for his nice reply too...but for some weird reason it was removed)  
The New Amati G5 or Joseph Audio Pearl Graphene
I can't answer your question, but somewhat related:  I have the Joseph Perspective graphene speakers and just recently I was able to hear the Sonus Faber Olympica nova 3 speakers for a little while at a local AV store.  I'd been wanting to hear ne... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
  Still tweaking my Perspectives in to place.  Spread a bit wider apart and slightly angled out a bit more.  As is usually the case with speakers in my room, this helps fatten out the sound somewhat, and also makes the speakers disappear a bit mo...

2023 AXPONA Show Report
  I couldn’t make it to the show, so I’ve just enjoyed watching the many youtube videos posted covering the show. I watch them in my home theater on the big projection screen with a good surround system (Hales Transcendence speakers) and the imp... 
MBL 120 vs 126
Hard to say.  The stereophile review quoted MBL as saying the 120 is particularly flexible in working in different rooms.  So maybe your small room would work. Does it work to go with the model you prefer, and then just see which room it works in... 
Making speakers “disappear”…..
Don't forget toe-in, which can not only affect imaging but widen the sweet spot. Some speakers sound better below the tweeter axis, and with little to no toe-in. For me, that vast majority of speakers I've had "disappear" better when I don't to... 
MBL 120 vs 126
  I had the 121s in a 13' x 15' room.  They are in between the 120/126 in terms of size/frequency response.  They worked great in my room.  Though I do have a fairly wide opening in to a hallway which helps with bass I think. 11' x 11' might be ...

Interesting.  Though I don't play in that snack bracket anymore.  I've used up my audio fun money for the foreseeable future.

@arafiq Yes I remember you mentioning the Aavik amp. That’s a pricey bit of gear! Funny you mention selling your REL subs; I’m actually considering adding a REL sub, just to try at some point - e.g. T9X. The Perspectives are putting out goregou... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Ok sorry for the delay.  Here's my report on my upgraded Perspective 2s: I'd sold almost all my extra audio gear over the past several years, which went in to my 'audio funds' that I could use for upgrades or a new purchase.  Part of that went to... 
Thiel Owners
    Also one thing i don’t like at all about the Gaia 2s is that you don’t hear the tweaks that you put into your system like yor exemple the Vertere Pulse HB Ethernet cable that i purchased lately which completely blew me away prior to the Gai...

Yeah, I know.  Sorry.  I've been distracted by all sorts of stuff.  I'll get back to the Perspectives as soon as I can.  They are sounding great!

Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"
  Not a huge fan of rap to be sure. But I've enjoyed plenty of rap songs and have yet to enjoy anything by Ray Charles.
