what speakers to purchase


I have a large room 24x24 with 23 ft cathedral ceilings. Against 1 wall are windows and fireplace that go all the way up and wood floors. My current equipment contains Theta Digital Dreadnaught ll (250x5) and Casablanca 111. I am really torn on what speaker to turn to. Can anyone help. Some speakers that have been brought to my attention are Aerial,Wilson sophia/duette,sonus faber.

Thanks for any feed back

In a near perfect cube and with plenty of reflective surfaces I'd be inclined to go for stand mount two ways and a sub (or two) - this may give you the most flexibility for positioning (such as speakers backed up against glass wall but not destroying the view) and oh, BTW - you really must get a rug. I'd suggest ATC 20's and one or two JL F113's because the little ATC's are small yet so powerful that they could fill that space, however, I fear you would find them too forward and too bright in such a reflective environment. You would probably be best served by two way B&W's which tend to have a scooped midrange (get the ones with the crossover to the tweeter way up around 4 Khz so that the natural beaming from the large midrange/woofer reduces the "harshness" in the mids).
