Recommend speakers for a large living room

Hi, I am moving to a new apartment with a large living room (38" x 23", plus a dining area & kitchen). I am planning to have 2 different sitting areas given the size. Here is a picture of the floor-plan: https://ibb.co/J5szvj9

Everything is wood floors except on the blue squares where I plan to put carpet. I’ve been thinking of using omni-directional speakers (German Physiks Borderland) given the area is large and there are multiple listening locations. But I’d like to get some recommendations & also some ideas of where it would be best to place the speakers - so far my idea is to put them on the red circles.

My budget for speakers is ~$50,000.

I listened to the German Physics speakers and was unimpressed.
They were good, but not great- especially for the price.
If you can listen to MBL, I think you would be on a better track-given your budget.

Definitely check out the OHM Walsh speakers at

https://ohmspeaker.com/

These are tweaked omnis that are designed to go closer to walls than many speakers out there, especially full omnis like GP or MBL.

Also you will save a lot of money with OHM compared to either of those and they are made right here in good old Brooklyn, USA and offer top notch customer service and support to boot.

Model needed and cost is determined by room size. Couldn’t be easier to choose the right model for a specific room. Bigger models for bigger rooms cost more. The biggest model can be adjusted for room size. That’s it.

I own 2 pair:   larger 5XXX models I run in one system  with 12" driver room adjustable and smaller more basic 8" model in another.

Thanks everyone for the response. Lots of great info here. I have reached out to MBL to organize a demo & am also going to check-out Ohm speakers next week. I hadn’t thought about adding sub-woofers. Question, if I were to add 4 sub-woofers, how would that work? Is there a pre-amp that could handle 4 sub-woofers?
