Canada has a number of good speaker manufacturers -- esp given the testing facilities available. Presumably, Canadian products will be easy to access (ditto with customer service).
Your room is big and can accomodate most, if not all, commercial speaker systems available at your price point.
As you listen to classical, a larger -- rather than small & dainty -- product would be preferable. Especially, you'll have to satisfy yourself that the lower mids (midbass) to bass region is acceptable and blends seamlessly with the "mid" frequencies (i.e. violins, etc); otherwise your tenors will be singing Wagner and the orchestra will be playing Mozart, so to speak:)
Sorry I can't make any specific recommendations (which is probably what you're looking for).
Don't know what VS' customer service is like.
