This sounds a lot like my living room. I currently have Goldenear Triton Ones, which do a good job of moving enough air. But I’m looking to upgrade these. Bookshelves are not going to get it done in that room.
Looking for speakers in a large vaulted great room
I have a large great room that we are building that will have the dining room in between the great room and the kitchen. The 2 rooms combined will be about 21’ wide by 30’ long to the edge of the kitchen. The room is vaulted, and will have a wall of glass, sliding glass doors and windows on one side leading to the outside. Needless to say this is not an ideal listening room, but I would like to have some speakers that fill the space with music. I am not trying to do surround sound, just 2 channel from one end, opposite the kitchen. There will be a fireplace at that end, and I could do floor speakers or bookshelf, although there will be a window on either side of the fireplace, so the bookshelf speaker would have to sit on top of a built in-cabinet below the windows. Not looking to add anything to the walls, trying to make the room an enjoyable space with great sounding music. Willing to look at used speakers as well. Any thoughts?

To fill a space that size with even sound coverage, you'll need an architectural solution. A pair of bookshelf speakers at one end will probably sound like a pair of little squakers making racket rather than music. Since this is a new build, I'd look at something along the lines of the James Loudspeaker/ Sonance Small Aperture series, or a copy of that system is the Origin Acoustics Minimal Opening series with proper matching amplification. Those systems sound fantastic for sound coverage in large spaces. Plus interior designers and architects love them due to their minimal intrusion into the space. Their grille trims can match 3" and 4" recessed lighting trims, plus they provide nearly full-range sound, as well. The only downfall to them is the price. But it would be the way to go in this instance. https://www.jamesloudspeaker.com/categories/1 You can also add a hidden subwoofer into any dead-space of someplace like a kitchen cabinet, in a ceiling or under the floor in the joists with their ducted- subwoofers: https://sonance.com/products/93043 https://www.jamesloudspeaker.com/products/70
