Sanders 10e
I have owned dozens of speakers . All kinds, Stats ,Planars , Box , Open baffle . Each and every one sounds best sitting in the middle of the speakers . Move to the right or left and you lose the stereo imaging . If i am walking around the room do...

If you are in the U.S., Crutchfield has a 30 day return policy . You could test them out .  
Tekton Preview / Audition in Minneapolis
Soundermn . What size group do you have so far ? Are you still going to divide up the Return fee to the participants ? If so how much are we looking at ? Or are they so great you know already you are keeping them ?

Vandersteens, PSB or something else?

If you paid for one of the ads with the commission prepaid i think would be the way to go . Figure the highest value bracket range and pay an ad for that . Audiogon gets their cut upfront . Doing that maybe they wouldn't mind talking more in detai... 
Room Acoustics

Room Acoustics
Those ceilings being so low could definitely use some absorption . If your on a budget and you cannot afford the GIK which i believe to be fairly priced (No audiophile price inflation) you could build your own if you are diy type. First contact GI...
