Large Room which speakers?

Please do yourself a favor and ask ONE person.....at an audio store near you. Try and find someone you like and trust who may even go to your house and see your room. Everything from cables, to room conditioning is in play here. Every room is different. The one nice thing about speakers like Vandys with the built in subs, is that they allow you to set it up easier in regards to best placement for the mids on up and then you can just dial in the bass and you still don't lose the coherency like you will using subs. I'm sure there will be five or more on this thread alone who will disagree with me and that just shows you that you need to find someone you trust and listen to them. Most on here have been around audio for some years and we all have our own likes and prejudices. The one thing that most will agree on is that you can't just say, what are the best speakers.....Synergy is what makes audio magic. The amps, pre amp, sources, electricity, room, cables.....did I miss anything? I'm sure I did. These are all different when they are set up with different components. Often times you can tune a room with a well placed rug and or large plant in the corner. What state are you in? If you share that, you will get many of us who probably know someone good to refer you to and you can go from there to see who you like and trust.

^Very Good Advice.

Evolution Acoustics MM2. My room is 24x28 with 12 foot cathedral. Powered woofers are the ticket and you won't need a super power amp to get ear splitting levels.

How many of you guys will use a sub with a non full speaker? From reading and hearing, they only time I've ever heard a set of subs set up and really be coherent is with a set of full range speakers. I have a sub with some monitors for my second system and it's only because I watch mostly TV and it's for basic effects and to fill in, but I can't listen to music for any length of time on it. Just curious.

Good points by Marty.

Larger omnidirectional speakers are a very good choice for
larger rooms when good sound throughout is a consideration.

OHM Walsh speakers are a lower cost option to mbl and are
designed to work well closer to walls if needed. I have two
larger rooms and a pair of OHMs in each that have won out
over everything else over the years mainly for that reason.

I also have two smaller rooms, and in there, I often prefer
smaller more directional monitor designs.
