I have a similarly large space. 35x30x18 high with mostly glass to the east, winding staircase to the north side with a balcony overhead, open to the southern direction to the kitchen and the west wall under the balcony overhead is all stone with a fireplace. It's a very convoluted area to say the least.
I have a pair of Bryston Model T signature fully active speakers, however I am running them with the heavy duty PX1 external crossovers. I have three subs spaced evenly around the perimeter to the sides and back, one is the Bryston Model T sub with three 8 inch drivers, the other two are made by Axiom Audio (who builds all of the Bryston speakers). One is the EP800V4 and the EP500V4.
If you are a full bodied type of listener, that is you enjoy powerful dynamic, super clean music; these speakers will impress you. If you took it up a notch and added three amps each to both the left and right main speakers with the Bryston fully active crossover, it will take it to a whole new level. I am not sure you can do all of this within your budget, but if you skip the 6 amps and just do what I am doing, you'll still be very pleased.
