Help with Speaker Selection

My room is 20x20 with a ceiling that slopes from 8 feet on the sides to 16 feet in the center. The system is ARC 150.2, Naim CD 3.5, Sugden pre-amp and speakers Linn Keilidh.

One side of the room has 8 foot high shelving upon which the speakers sit. So speaker placement remains less than ideal.

I play rock and roll mostly. Any part of the system can be replaced but I have always enjoyed the ARC sound.

Will entertain any suggestion.

Thanks to all for their comments.

They sound compressed, with poorly extended highs, colored midrange and minimal base.

Thanks for the responses. Meriwan : you have summed up the sound perfectly with the word flat.
Phaelon: the room has a cathedral ceiling with a "wall unit" that's 8 feet high. Above the center of the wall unit the ceiling peaks at roughly 18 feet. The speakers need to be placed on top of this wall unit.
