Best speakers ever 4 small room?

I realized my room is too small for the many best in the world speakers. Are any of the following or those of the same caliber designed or comfortable in a room with dimensions of 11' x 15' with a ceiling of 8'-6".
Talking about Avalon, Avantgarde, MBL, Kharma, Dynaudio, Soundlabs, Wisdom, Magico, Genesis, Revels, Pipedreams, Wilson, Piegas, Apogees, Legacy, Dunlavy, Rockport, Quads, JM Labs ---- caliber of speakers.
I am looking for a speaker that is absolutely gorgeous in sound and stands out from the rest.
The room can be heavily damped and willing to change my electronics.
My fav's so far: MBL's 116, Then these all fall in second: Piega c10, Dynaudio c4, Kharma's, JM Labs diva, avantgarde duo's.
I listen to orchestral music and opera on vinyl, but also all genre's and would like to have a wide full sounding presentation with subtle natural sounding bass that's deep and accurate and projects depth.
Wouldn't mind so much a 4 cabinet system or satellite and sub set up. thanks

In my very small room... 11x10 with vault ceiling, the Sonus Faber Guarneri's replaced my Hales and sound fantastic.
You have to sit in the near field, but the G's need no sub in a room this size.

I've just added a pair of Quad 22Ls in my 11 by 21 by 10 foot room and I'm very happy. I put them in place of a Totem Model 1 / Totem Storm combination.

After treating the room with Echobusters the soundstage is very deep and the bass tamed quite well. I've shut off the Totem sub for now.

Good Luck!

My room is 12 x 20 x 7'6". I have a pair of Quad esl 57's driven by 2 cary monoblock slm 100's. The center of the quads are 9' apart toed in slightly and 3' out from the short wall. My seating area is 12' in front of the quads with 5' behind the chairs before the wall. I am thrilled with the sound. The clarity and sound stage are nothing short of beautiful. I tried REL, Martin Logan and snell subs. Sold them all. They did not improve the sound. Strings from The Irish Harp Orchestra,vocals of Eva Cassidy, Low bass notes on Sade's Lovers Rock and Samuel John Swartz playing J.S Bach on the Skinner and Hradetzky organs at Immanuel Presbyterian Churh in L.A. all sound fantastic. If you can manage the size of the 57's in your room I highly recommend them.

Monitors? Sonus Faber. Floorstanding? Totem Arro or Hawk. All are totally musical...it's about the music, right?
