Recommend speakers for a large living room


Hi, I am moving to a new apartment with a large living room (38" x 23", plus a dining area & kitchen). I am planning to have 2 different sitting areas given the size. Here is a picture of the floor-plan: https://ibb.co/J5szvj9

Everything is wood floors except on the blue squares where I plan to put carpet. I’ve been thinking of using omni-directional speakers (German Physiks Borderland) given the area is large and there are multiple listening locations. But I’d like to get some recommendations & also some ideas of where it would be best to place the speakers - so far my idea is to put them on the red circles.

My budget for speakers is ~$50,000.

My recommendation for the best audio system sound I ever heard had the Von Schweikert Ultra 11s in a huge room.  After that, at half the price are the Ultra 9s good for large rooms as well.  They are expensive but would have fit my previous home's room of 20w X 25+d X12 h   Now my room is only 15w X 20 d X 10 h and I will probably settle for the VR55k   
gammajo  That's even larger than my former listening room.  Do you think that the 55Ks would be okay in a much smaller room, 15' X 20' X 10' high?  The room is extremely well insulated (16" compound walls/12" 3000 psi reinforced concrete floors-$160K built).  The bass wouldn't be a problem as I am currently using Legacy Focuses with 6 12" woofers but the bass is limited to 25 Hz (okay with me).  I know the Ultra 9s are way too big.
