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

Pick up and old pair of JBL 4343's have them serviced , refoamed Get the crossover guy's crossovers installed. Keep in mind they weigh 175 lb. each. You can run them with 200W but better if you have 300-500 w.p.c.

@bigasscab let them get a pair of MoFi Sourcepoint V10 Master Edition in either:

Black Trim or Walnut Trim

and thankfully they're Amp agnostic with a near flat impedance above the bass port

so get this stereo power amp with loads of headroom - https://boxem-audio.eu/en/stereo-amplifiers/64-414-arthur-4216e2.html#/2-faceplate_color-oxidized_grey/10-mains_voltage-90_132v

and this Preamp/Processor - Icon P80 in Black or Silver

zx10 - I like the way you think. Those JBL's would do an excellent job at filling a large room without a sub. If he can swing the cost, a pair of JBL Everest DD67000 would be excellent too!

In my home theater powered by marantz av10 I use separate amps ,however the tekton ulfberht 15.they are so good  I have 3 sets.one set  as front r and l in my home theater 16 plus channels. I also have a mix of ulfberht and moab in another home theater. Eric the designer can put what caps you want and what color you want. Call him he is a drummer and knows alot of prominent music people he has sold to. Best quality for 10k. Enjoy the music.

Sorry, didn't notice the $10K range.  I thought older mbls would be reasonably priced, but afraid I haven't been looking at the marketplace. I like the mention of the Ohm speakers, if you want something that doesn't require sitting in a sweet spot.
