Speaker Selection with "difficult" room

Newbie here. Looking for recommendations regarding speakers for a 23ft by 17ft room with 1926 concrete stucco walls, oak wood floors, French windows on one side and dining room on the other side. I realize this is the challenge from hell but don't want to get into equipment from which I cannot get optimal performance due to the poor acoustics of this room. Any suggestions are appreciated regarding speakers and/or power processing.

Yes. Sorry.
Budget is $5000 for speakers.
Floorstanding speaker.
Now have Onkyo TX-8211 integrated amp. but this can change if needed and budget as well.
Music is mostly alternative, rock and jazz.
Have listened to B&W CM-90 already but not sure if that is an underwhelming choice for this space.
Thank you.

Speakers will fire down length of room (23 feet). 11 foot ceilings BTW.
The sitting areas are @8 and 14 ft from the wall that will be next to the speakers.
I don't know dB levels as far as loudness and if it translates to speakers but 60 dB is normal conversation and 100 dB is a mower so I would say between those levels and less. Thank you.
