Help w/ my new large room


I need advice on what to do. I previously had a very small intimate listening room and have just moved now to a very large open room with vaulted ceilings. I want to set up my system but it's funny to even think about my current speakers in this new room! Room is like 15'x27' open at one end, with vaulted ceilings. Here is my current system:

-Linn Tukans!
-Linn Majik integrated
-Meridian 200 transport
-Meridian 263 DAC

I'm thinking of selling the Tukans and getting something bigger for my new big room, as it's funny just to see the Tukans in this room. I need to fill this room with sound. I don't want to downgrade in sound,as the Linn set-up sounds really great in a small room. Also, I don't want to spend much more than $500-600 (used is fine) for right now. Is this a good move?

Any other ideas, I'm open to any opinions!!!Thanks

Set them up and hear what they can do (and can't do). Maybe a good used sub that you can use with them when you want to get loud.

They should sound better in the larger room. You will not get help in the bass freq. that you are used to...but you will gain in the soundstage and image department. Of course if you try to force high spl's to make up for the loss of room gain in the bass freq. that you were used to...they will go brittle at the high freq's.
