Filling a 6600 Cu. ft. room

Hi there I am curious to see just how large of speakers and how many sub woofers it would take to fill a 30x40 space

Its a barn and has vaulted ceilings obviously due to a barn.
Im not certain what the spacing up there would be

Im dreaming of one day getting the genesis 300 when im on top of the world. I havent heard them, I just have extreme faith in arnie nudell and havent seen many speakers that really make me wanna upgrade from B&W Matrix 804's. The JM Labs mezzo Utopias interest me as well as the leagcy focus 20/20. I have heard the new Etopia EM with the VTL Seigfrieds and was blown away and its not the greatest reference but i have the focal utopia components and subs from 2000 or so in my car and they do rock just amazing, I even find myself listening to the jazz staion occasionaly because it comes in well and im not a jazz guy. Any way Ive been looking at the Velodyne HGS18, Paradigm Servo 15, I know enough to know i can no longer go with what seems cool and I need to get help from folks that really know whats up.

I am currently in a 28X35 foot space with 14' ceilings.

The medium sized dipole monitors on stands (Cerious Too) are in 1 area a few feet from the walls, with dual woofers (cerious Bass) against the walls. Sitting about 12 feet away from the speaker, there is no problem hearing anyplace in the space. The sound travels. Bass may be a bit less in certain areas, but boosted to correct that would create too much bass in the prime listening spot. However you may want to look into a line array which drops only half of point sources as the distance doubles. Scaeana's are fantastic.

I would worry most about acoustic treatment as Reverberation will be a battle.
