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.

I listened to the German Physics speakers and was unimpressed.
They were good, but not great- especially for the price.
If you can listen to MBL, I think you would be on a better track-given your budget.

@racamuti , 
I like the Shahinian's. But, they are more in the class of Ohm. Very spacious, but nebulous sound. If the OP wants this, then they would be a great choice. On the other hand, if the OP wants something that provides a detailed soundstage, I would opt for either Vandersteen, MBL, Sound Labs or Magnepan.
I wish I could demo the Daedalus or Sonus Faber, as so many here on Agon have sung their praises.
