Something has to be off about the room, like you are sitting in a null considering your comment about the need for more bass. Have you taken any measurements at your listening position? Have you played around with speaker/sub placement or shifting the listening postion?

I run a pair of Focal Kanta 2 and one 15" sealed sub in a room twice the size of yours and have no issues with output unless I’m going for rock concert levels. I’d take some measurements and play around with positioning...speakers and listening. You might also want to look into room treatment. In another room, adding bass traps greatly improved the bass response of that system.

Regardless, I have a hard time believing there are no speakers in your budget range that can give you what you want when paired with a REL array. So long as you have addressed cancellation effects.

I have the Volti Audio Rivals in a large room (just over 5K cu. ft.) & they fill it easily at loud volumes w/ maybe 20 tube watt peaks. Sound very good & more like live music than most. They don't have the super extended, pristine high end that only bats will really appreciate but its very clean, a super dynamic, great, spacious & open midrange & a big low end that a good, big woofer can be capable of.  

And, w/ about half of your budget leftover, you can afford a solid retainer for a good divorce attorney should you wife decide the music is simply too loud to stand. 

I'm not sure of the price in dollars, Bowers and Wilkins 802 D4s work well in large rooms.

High end Magnapans.  They can fill any room, and don't cost an arm and a leg.  If you can't afford new, go back a few years.  Even more of a bargain.  Big, enveloping soundstage!  Instruments and voices that sound "as in the room" if speakers positioned correctly through experimentation.

Hard to image these would not work.

Shawarma,

makes it a bit tricky to reply when we don't have the dimensions of your room.

The bigger the room the more powerful amplifier you're going to need.

If you like the sound of them, an ideal speaker for a large room are the Klipsch Horns, 103dB, 8ohms impedance. Purchased used, you'll have lots of money left over to buy good amplification!!!

The nice thing about the used Klipsch Heritage speaker line is this. Years after the initial purchase, and your ears start to critique a short coming in the speaker (they all have them), there are plenty of upgrades for not a ton of money. Check Bob Crites, or Volti Audio for upgrades.

In other words, they maybe lifers.

Enjoy the voyage.

Give GIKAccoustics a call and see if they can help you sort out your room before you spend that $30K.

 

You should create a Virtual System page on Audiogon. It will also help if you call GIK.

 

Best info given. 
 

It’s probably not the speakers and more your room at this point and budget. Is the room treated?

Don't overlook what Magnepan can offer. They circumvent the complications of cabinets and dynamic drivers and save expense and you might like the planar sound.

If I had that kind of money I would look at what others have mentioned, Volti Audio. You would be the kind of customer to work out a deal for the Vittora and that’s like heaven. Klipsch are nice but I would go for the Vittora and bass module. Winner,winner.....chicken dinner, Dancing all night long.

Interested to read responses, but mainly curious in what world $30k is considered low budget.

Best I can figure yr floor is about 20x30 feel 

Sorry guys the dimensions are Audio room: 33x20 sq feet and 7.5 feet high my amps are fine it’s just the speaker if it can handle the room anything big horn fan got first gen advant garde speakers UNOs fills the room easily but the second duos are over my budget looking for horn company’s with similar philosophy’s in reproducing sound and size does not matter bigger is better for my room than small

My advice:  get yourself some big Maggies, or the largest IMF transmission line monitors available (used).  The a really powerful amplifier to drive them.  You'll get all the sound and sound level you could want.  Hi-fi, sound, not just sound!
