I guess depending on where you are you might reach out to these guys and see about them building you a set of custom Altec Valencias. These have always been one of my favorite speaker systems. When done right they are just amazing and will fill that space beautifully. https://holthill.com/products/altec-lansing-valencia-custom-build-program-a-very-special-speaker-system?_pos=1&_sid=2d1b374d3&_ss=r
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?

Meridian DSP use digital to control directional pattern of speakers claiming to eliminate boundary effects other passive or active speakers struggle with. and drum roll.. I just happen to have a pair available at huge discount. Seriously tho', I did buy a pair when room effects created a bass null in the center of my room with the bass audible best in the back left corner, no lie. The speakers did overcome the null for me, and their website does display the speakers in a room with a solid glass wall. Try to find an experienced dealer that will work with you. if that option's out buy used so you can resell at minimum financial loss. |

I have the exact same setup (end walls floor to ceiling glass, vaulted ceiling) and believe or not, I get fantastic sound using 2 Bose 301’s right up against each end-wall, slightly angled in and two KEF Q150s six feet in from the Bose straight facing. All sit on a soffit close to the lower rake of the ceiling (approximately. 7’6" from the floor), this uses the rake to roll the sound across the room. The sweet spot is surprisingly wide. I have tried other speakers but for some reason nothing compares to the 301’s for this circumstance. Hope that helps?
