I have a room that is 11.5 feet by 20 feet.  I want to put floor speakers in and was wondering what would be a good size?  Suggestions please!?

Your room will accommodate a wide range of speaker sizes. My room is 14.5' x 21' with a 9' ceiling. I've successfully used mid-sized stand-mounted monitors (Usher Be-718, for example), mid-sized floor-standers (Magico V3, Revel Salon2 for examples), and even massive systems (a four-piece Genesis system and at the moment, Wilson X-2s).
Rather than approach the question as a matter of size, you should first think of it in terms of how much you can spend, what kind of music you listen to, and what other components are in your system. Matching the speaker to the power amplifier is important.
How much can you spend? Do you have an amplifier already? If so, what is it and how much power does it output? What kind of music do you most enjoy?
