Large sweetspot

I am in the market for new speakers for a my largish living room (20X30 w/ 9' ceilings). We expect to entertain in this room so I would like speakers that sound good over a wide listening area. I would like them to be close to or full range. Other priorities would be NOT bright or fatiguing, efficient enough for modest tube amps, and attactive. My budget is about $4K and I would consider recent model used speakers. I know I may not get all of my wish list in one package but I would like to hear what people thinks comes closest. Thanks in advance.

I'll make the Klipschorn recommendation a hat-trick. As Rives suggests, you'll need two adjacent corners with solid walls to place them in (either that or be prepared to build a false corner). Also, don't be afraid to get the older K-horns from the late 70's early 80's as they were as great back then as they are today. Good single-owner examples show up on the used market, but definitely look for examples you could go and check out and pick up yourself. You don't want to think about shipping them. I'd agree that Belle's would be an excellent alternative if you don't have the corners to work with. Tubes are a must with Klipsch IMO and that combination is heaven to my ears.
