Speakers to pair with Quicksilver mid mono

AR-2ax horizontal a no go, 24" wide, if vertiga’ 24" height, angled down a small amount would work, perhaps woofer at top, tweeter and mid below.

these Wharfedales, 3 way 8" woofer, without the stand would fit vertically also height spec must be wrong: maybe 20-3/8" high, might just fit horizontally if remove bottom spacers, have seller give true measurement without the plinth.

rear ports, but 27" depth helps, or stuff them. My ports are stuffed here, were open in prior location.

I’m confused. Great room, 14’ ceiling, why not use the existing ones???

What model are the existing ones? If you do not know, search the internet 'klipsch speakers', find out what they are that way.

Those amps, EL-34, what specific amp are they in. You want very efficient speakers (high sensitivity ___ db 1 watt/1 meter to drive them in a large space with tube amps. Typically horn speakers are used as they are the most efficient, thus easy to achieve large volume levels with tube amps.

Less efficient speakers, you will probably want to change to a SS solid state amp, or a hybrid, part tube/ss power stage.

Now that I see your space, it is a dilemma, I suggest true bookcase speakers (not small monitors called bookcase these days) horizontal on those shelves, keeping all drivers at same height, as low as can be achieved.

How DEEP are those shelves ____?

My office speakers, 3 way, 10" woofers (a lot more bass than typical small speakers with 6-1/2 inch woofers.

Ideally located at seated ear height like mine, but you have higher shelves. Depth needs to fit a shelf, height not too high for a shelf space (you have no height restrictions), and you do not want ports, if so front only

Mine are vintage AR-2ax’s restored quite easily, or buy some already restored by someone else. Everything needed is readily available.

Local Pickup Only, you could use UPS Pack and Ship, seller simply drops them off, unpackaged, UPS packs and ships, they responsibile for any damage. I have used UPS successfully a few times.

They have level controls for tweeter and mid volume control relative to each other and the woofer, which will be an asset in your use.

You can put a small block under the rear edge, angling them down a bit, for better sound ’down there’ and alter the reflection off the ceiling, avoiding strong secondary waves and eventual rear wall waves.

Of course, any new speaker that can be used horizontally can be likewise used, but most do NOT have level controls, a true asset of the AR-2ax’s and likely a benefit in your space/high location.

10" woofers

Build a front panel or box and use IN-WALL Speakers

These Focals, 17-1/4 wide would fit sideways in a Panel or box in the existing recesses.

dual 5" woofers, tweeter pivots, two level controls

These, 19" wide 3 way IN WALL would also fit sideways, tweeter level control

klipsch horn with dual 5.25 fits horizontally

martin ogan would fit horizontally, sensitivity 94db, 4 ohms

interesting psb 3 way, adjustable tweeter wave guide
