Large room with low budget for speakers

I calculated that your room is 31 feet deep by 21 feet wide by 8 feet tall. Of course those measurements could vary some. That is a big room. I suggest horns and at your budget you could hit the best of Viking Acoustic. 

My room is 56 to 60 sq meters I have demoed a few speakers in that budget most of them don’t get loud enough before they start to sound like they are being strained although speakers like vivid or estelon are too small for the room my amps are pass labs XA 160.8 power isn’t an issue for me at all

Have you heard ANY speaker in that room that did not sound strained? It may not be the speakers  and it may just be the case that the room itself is being overloaded.  Unless you are trying for extreme volume levels,  the Rockports, Focals, Vivid, etc. should be fine and I would being to suspect you have room issues.  Everything is a matter of tradeoffs, and if you insist on rock concert volume levels, you may have to settle for speaker built for high volume that will not sound so good at more reasonable levels (Zu Audio comes to mind).

I would definitely look for  room acoustics problem. I think a 22’ x 22’ or there about room… while generally large… is not so large to sound like out doors.

I agree… I would look at bass loading as a possible problem. 

Give GIKAccoustics a call and see if they can help you sort out your room before you spend that $30K.

You should create a Virtual System page on Audiogon. It will also help if you call GIK.

I heard some Legacy speaker models in the past and I always thought they were very loud.
