$8,000 budget--Need help

I am purchasing a new stereo system. I have a $8,000 budget to spend on speakers and equipment. I am working with a room filled with travertine that is 35 ft. wide by 55 ft.long with 18 foot ceilings. I am going to the CES Show in Las Vegas for my evaluation. One speaker line I am looking at is the Von Schweikert VR4 SR. Can anyone recommend speakers and equipment for my comparison? I listen to all types of music; soft/hard rock, pop, oldies, classical, jazz, etc. I enjoy listening to music that is very defined and realalistic. I do not mind used equipment.

Thank you in advance!

You've gotta help me here...

What home has a 1700 sq. ft. living room with 18' ceilings?

And you want to use 8K speakers?

I need to understand this one.

I've given this some thought. Anyone with a living room the size of a New York three bedroom apartment should certainly abondon the idea of a music system and just have a resident orchestra. Much more efficient. No worrying about room acoustics. Seating isn't much of an issue. Certainly volume levels, both soft and loud are automatic.

Yeah. Best solution, just get your own band.

Tell us about the room and the house, even if we did make fun of you.
