Speakers for a very large room?


Reader of posts for a few years but have not posted a serious question until now. Currently have McIntosh integrated tube amp with some old KEF speakers. While I enjoy it in my current setting, I am moving to a house where my listening room will be 30' x 40' x 10'. It has polished concrete floors. Sounds like a grocery store but it is not. I suspect I will need to change speakers but really have no clue where to start. I listen mostly to progressive rock but also anything in the same general area. I don't know where to start with such a room? I am at least 3 hours from any major city. I did experience Treo CTs once and to bright for my ears and Wilsons but did not care for the visual appearance though liked the sound better. It was a few years ago so can't better define what I liked.  Not a great resume of listening experience but it is what it is at this point. For some reason, which may be completely wrong, I am thinking electrostatic may work well in this setting. I could easily move them 5 feet out from the back wall but then again I really don't know what I am talking about. Any kind comments would be appreciated.

I also forgot to say I think my budget for speakers alone would be in the $6,000 range. Thanks.

Rich,
I'm sure you probably already know this but I'd get the listening room acoustics tackled first and take it from there. You might like what you already have.

Start with GIK acoustics. they give great advice, and have the best price / performance.
That will make your room match wiht a much wider range of speakers than you would otherwise.

Have you thought about some JBL studio monitors?
