Which speakers to get for a Very Large Room.

A used Infinity IRS-V system should do the trick.

I like Aerial line and 9B or their newest 12t would certainly come onto consideration.

Though his argument has some merit, it should be pointed out that JohnK manufactures and sells the kind of speakers he's recommending.

If they are in the budget, the Classic Audio Loudspeakers do the job quite nicely. Efficiency is 97-98 db, impedance is 16 ohms and the low frequency cutoff is 20 or 22 Hz, depending on if you get the T-1 or T-3. In a room the size mentioned, one would be hard-pressed to overload a set of 100-watt tube amps.

Hi Guys, Sorry about the typo, of course it's bass. It was a tough day yesterday and I may have had one too many glasses of wine last night before starting this thread.I should add a couple of things to my original post.

My budget is around $4500 - $5000.00 although I could stretch that a bit. My room volume is large but my listening area is somewhat near field. The front speaker wall is 16' across and I sit about 10' from the front of my speakers. The ceiling is still 17' and no back wall. I also cannot move my speakers more than 2' from the back wall as they get too close to the end of my couches. One of the reasons I was looking for more efficient speakers Atmasphere is I was considering buying your m-60s down the road. My concern with horn speakers is my room is very lively with tile floors and a lot of glass. I didn’t bring this up because I want to keep room treatment off the table, I do have some. At times I listen at high spls and one of my concerns is how well efficient speakers can do this? Thanks again for everyone’s help.
