speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room

Finally getting an opportunity to set up a dedicated audio room. Its a separate out building from the house. 2x6 construction, fully insulated 20' wide 30' with 10' ceilings. Full HVAC and adding padded and carpet floor over 6" existing concrete floor. After heavy texture and new paint, I plan to add acoustic treatments, just he basics for starters, bass traps, wall panels, ceiling clouds and going with a rule of thirds layout for speaker placement. 

For now I will be running everything from an Emotiva Pre-Amp, Peachtree 500 Amp, Bluesound Node for streamer and a Pontus II DAC.

Budget for the new speakers will be $5000 to $10,000. this will be a dedicated listening room, We listen to everything from Dianna Krall to Metallica Classic Rock, Blues, Country.. you name it. Just looking for recommendations of speakers I should be considering for this specific room dimension.

AFTER you listen to ALL the other choices, have your dealer set up a pair of Magnepan speakers (your choice based on what you can afford) in YOUR NEW ROOM (congrats!) and see if they work for you.

Typically, they take a little effort to set up properly, but my guess is that you will love them.  If not, at least you heard them IN YOUR ROOM and know what accurate reproduction of the source material sounds like.

 

Cheers!
