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 agree with agustus and for the cost of used Meridian DSP you can’t go wrong, however they will no longer be offering the se upgrade after the end of the month. Having done it myself I can say I’m done. Now when I go out listening to demos my system is the reference and I don’t hear anything better, good, great, impressive yea, but nothing I’d risk losing the musical harmony I have here now.

$50k for speakers! Lot to consider, appearances, sound quality, size. Since you mentioned omni directional MBL would be quite the conversation piece and if you trust the reviews they’re always mentioned in Best sound at the show. I have a would be buddy with a room about your size and he’s struggled mightily trying to get music in that room. I can tell you what didn’t work, but for every one I mention someone else will disagree. He is currently using the persona 9h, has a large throw rug over much of the hardwood, but the 20’tall window wall presents challenges. I haven’t been over to hear his latest system, but will soon and can report if interested.
