Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’)

Open concept listening space with speakers on one short wall and kitchen at the other end.  Furniture about fifteen feet from speakers.  I assume I'll need large speakers and am considering Klipsch Cornwalls as well as Tannoy Ardens, but open to suggestions.  I also assume standmounts are too small for the space.  I should mention I mostly listen at low to moderate sound levels, occasionally cranking it if the wife is out.   Thanks for any input.

I've got a big room thats L shaped but pretty much open.  A stairwell seperates the front wall leaving corners about 18ft apart.  The back wall is a little over 30ft long.  If you've got corners you can easily fill the room with a huge natural sounding soundstage with any amp (I'm using a 2 watt SET) and can reach 90db with more to go. 

Corner horns while large don't really take up much of your living space unlike standalones that need to be away from the front wall.  

Imagine Cornwalls with a bigger fuller sound.

Sorry I meant to say:

Klipsch / Speaker Lab Corner Horns. They are a fantastic deal used. I live near Seattle and there are usually a pair or two for sale every month or so. The Speaker Lab SK versions are even cheaper. Volti and some others have upgrades for them. New horn and drivers and crossovers which is what I planned to do with mine when I purchased them but they sounded so good that I just wrapped the midrange horn with dynamat and enjoy them. For me the most amazing part is how good they in the kitchen. They fill the whole level with great sound
