Speaker Help Please: Floorstanders around $1Ok to fill very large space with no sub


Hi Gang, haven’t posted in here in years...
A great friend of mine is going through major remodel and looking for 2 large floor standing speakers to fill a great room 38’ long x 20’ wide with a celling that slopes in one direction from 15’-8’. so about 7200 cubic feet. 
He is very serious about music. Used to book bands. He listens to a lot of New Orleans groove-based music and Americana. His wife loves female singers, like Brandi Carlisle.
My main advise to him is, since he/his wife don’t want a sub, they will need speakers with sufficient low end.
Haven’t thought too much about amp yet.

He will also use the system for 2 channel home theater watching.
Thanks for any suggestions

I would recommend a broad dispersion speaker like the Focal Kanta 2 or 3

You  can pick these up now for about 60%of the original retail 

Relatively small footprint but big sound 

Good luck on your hunt 

Look into old school ESS AMT MONITOR or ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR-9 both will fill most large rooms

lots of good recommendations already.

I would suggest the Vandersteen 5A speakers.

Used pair probably $5 - $6K.  Built in subs so you can dial in the bass.

Nothing at this price will beat the sound they produce.

Here is the real benefit, Vandersteen supports their speakers and they have available parts for them if you should ever need them.  You can get shipping boxes from Vandersteen also if you need to do so.

With the right amplification, you will be in heaven.

Happy Listening.

Considering the size of the room and this is not a system for a sweet spot sitting audiophile, Check out the largest Ohm Omni speakers.

Ohm has these Walsh 5 pair restored by the manufacturer.
