$8,000 budget--Need help

I am purchasing a new stereo system. I have a $8,000 budget to spend on speakers and equipment. I am working with a room filled with travertine that is 35 ft. wide by 55 ft.long with 18 foot ceilings. I am going to the CES Show in Las Vegas for my evaluation. One speaker line I am looking at is the Von Schweikert VR4 SR. Can anyone recommend speakers and equipment for my comparison? I listen to all types of music; soft/hard rock, pop, oldies, classical, jazz, etc. I enjoy listening to music that is very defined and realalistic. I do not mind used equipment.

Thank you in advance!

How about some PA equipment? Just about every town that has a music store, be it chain or independent, will have a bulletin board that lists used PA gear. Another good source is the local trading post type paper & even the local newspaper. Used PA gear is an even greater bargain than used audio gear. With those high ceilings, you could suspend the spkrs & they would cover most of the room. I'm thinking a LCR configuration w/sub would work pretty well.

All you need is a decent front end to go with it & you're set.
