From your comments on loudspeaker options, might I suggest considering sepate stereo music loudspeakers and a sparate 5.1/7.1 HT loudspeaker sytem in that space?! You can easily hide all the loudspeakers by building a simple fakade in the front of the room -which also frames the front nicely (like a movie theater), hides all the gear and treatments, wires,lighting, etc! The fakade also casts a nice shadow in the front of the room (if you don't use some light rejection screen like SI Black Diamond, DNP Supernova, Dalite x850, etc), which is most effective in keeping your walls/ceiling from that glowing from projected light cast on them. Then you'll get best of both worlds for your music tastes and HT needs! Great I idea, I think.
In this case you can go with some super dynamic, acoustically friendly, focused, yet coherent, detailed, and solid sounding horns, or active multi-driver monitor speakers to properly handle the demanding dynamic needs of a good movie soundtrack for theater duties. Then, the more music oriented loudspeakers would be more tailored to your musical tastes. FYI.
If you would rather look at a bunch of loudspeakers and equipment spread all around the front of the room instead (the wife will love you, and Home And Gardens Magazine will surly be there promptly to photograph your wonderful décor choices), then you will likely go with some multiple woofer driver monitors that at least keep ceiling/floor reflections controlled, and pretty efficient, and clear sounding mid/hi-fi loudspeakers you can find.
Only you can know whether the speakers will float your boat for your music tastes in that case. Trial an error dictates here that you might try a pair before getting the rest of the system. You can always return what you don't like.
Remember, at the end of the day EVERYONE choses different loudspeaker choices! ..and that included industry professional. (good idea is to go through all the system choices of professional AV system/magazine reviewers, and consider what they are using! They typically know their stuff from experience. FYI)
Good luck
