FYI on Alsyvox - https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649661765-alsyvox-tintorettos/ (though a dealer ad)

My second fav speaker is the Thiel CS3.7, which you seem to be moving away from. What an incredible sounding speaker.

My favorite is the KEF Blade and I am looking forward to hearing the KEF Reference and Blades with the new Meta stuff. Could be a good choice coming from your Thiel background.

A Vivid speaker may also be something you like. I love the Vivid lineup too but I think KEF gets you close (or better with the Blade) for less dough. The new Magico A5 is also something I would like to hear, though I do not like Magico as much as Thiel, Vivid, and KEF, I maybe in the minority in that statement.

The Yamaha NS500, though classified as a bookshelf plays well in big spaces.

Everything I listed comes from big companies who may give you the benefit of Economies of Scale in their design and construction of speakers (Vivid maybe from B&W work).
