Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’)

Thanks so much for all the great info.  This gives me a lot to think about.  I am fascinated by the Vivid's looks and described performance, and will be keeping my eyes and ears open for a chance to hear them.  The Klipsch Jubilee's are also of interest, as are the Cornwalls.  Any other thoughts, don't hesitate to post.  Thanks again.

+1 for the Spatial X Series.

My room is 25'X25' with a cathredral ceiling topping out at about 14'.  The X-5's are stunning!  Detail retreval is like nothing I have ever heard.

the kef blades are magnificent but wil lail to presurize such a large room

if they are turned up too loud the midrange driver will fail..

legacy mkes speakers which can fill up such a space

the focus have deep bassand are 96 db  efficient they also handle tons of power

@doni I just think the Blade are the best speaker I have ever heard. There are aspeakers with a little better drivers out there (for ex. Yamaha NS5000). However, the way the Blades project the soundstage in unsurpased with every other speaker I have heard. I have gone to a a few shows and have heard a lot of gear. There are also incredible audio stores in Southern California. So I am not basing my comment from limited experience.

BTW - the Yamaha NS5000 is also an incredible 'bookshelf" speaker that would likely be great in your large space. You can get a home demo of them from 2 online sellers. I expect to get the NS5000 over the Blade because the side firing Blades are a bit more difficult to place in my living room. I have a local NS5000 dealer.

BTW2 - I expect the KEF Blades to be upgraded soon with the META technology that came with the most recent LS50's.
