@danager   I would stretch a bit for the Moabs.   Don't apologize for size.

@carlsbad   sound wise I agree the MOABs are a slam dunk but it's like having two NBA power forwards standing in your living room.  Pulled out from the wall where they can sound so good they dominate.  At least my corner horns are out of the way occupying "non living space" .  

@danager accept no compromise.😎

The Carina is a terrific speaker. I use mine in a smaller room. But with the price now below $2000, for a larger room the Carina and a sub or 2 (depending on various factors, 1 or 2),  should sound great.
