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

@bigasscab  : this is a little newer JBL development:

I think that with all the information of speakers and models that other gentlemans posted it’s time to look for the rigth electronics and room treatment.

I am going to agree with all the recommendations for Pure Audio Project!

That's a big room. I own the Arendal 1528 Tower 8 10th anniversary editions and can attest to their ability to fill a big space but they aren't for everyone. You need a LOT of power, 450-1000 watts for full range and the are BIG/HEAVY/LARGE. As someone else already suggested, you have to go listen to whatever you're shopping. (Arendal gives you 60 days in home trial but shipping is difficult cause they're LARGE but it's free.) One key here is if you don't like them when you first hear them, you never will. Don't let anyone talk you into "breaking them in". I'm not saying that's not a thing, but be careful of having someone talk you into something you don't like. 

After that, I'd shop: Goldenear T66, Perlisten R7t, MoFi Sourcepoint 888 or V10, KEF R11 w/subs, Perlisten R5t w/subs. That's for new. Used is a totally different recommendation. Used, I'd be shopping Perlisten S7t, KEF Reference 1 or 3 Metas, (w/sub), Paradigm Persona 9H. Careful of open baffles, electrostats, or horn speakers. They often have placement restrictions and most aren't for everyone.

p.s. a quick search on soundstage network and their loudspeaker measurement page will give you some areas to shop. It won't replace you listening to these for yourself, but can help quickly identify types of preferences using the frequency response graphs.  https://www.soundstagenetwork.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=140

Good luck! Can't wait to read what you went with!

@nondemo ,

You would recommend GE T66 new over Triton Reference? 
 

Also I don’t think you’re getting Paradigm 9H anywhere near 10k used. Founder 120H for 4-5k would be good. 

@mofojo 
I would. IMHO they look much nicer. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of GE. my current living room is all SuperSats with their SuperSubs. (60s and Xs) My first "real" speakers were their Triton 7s. Then, Triton 2. I demo'd the Reference and was blown away at the time, but that's a really crowded market now with better looking for the same or cheaper. (The base is plastic. Nice looking plastic but still.) FWIW, I've also had 3 of their plate amps go bad. They've been great with repair and/or replacement so no issue with GE just a fact of using plate amps. You're right, probably not $10K, I guess I was thinking more if they could stretch. There were some 9H for sale on Audiogon for around $18K/pair, but were a cosmetic mess. they're incredible though and often overlooked.
