$8,000 budget--Need help

I am purchasing a new stereo system. I have a $8,000 budget to spend on speakers and equipment. I am working with a room filled with travertine that is 35 ft. wide by 55 ft.long with 18 foot ceilings. I am going to the CES Show in Las Vegas for my evaluation. One speaker line I am looking at is the Von Schweikert VR4 SR. Can anyone recommend speakers and equipment for my comparison? I listen to all types of music; soft/hard rock, pop, oldies, classical, jazz, etc. I enjoy listening to music that is very defined and realalistic. I do not mind used equipment.

Thank you in advance!

Wow, just move the furniture and get your rackets and play tennis, that would be great. As for your speakers, I would go for: each speaker would have (2-15inch Fertin 38EX electromagnetic) and a (8 inch Fertin 20EX electromagnetic). All this in an open-baffle. There goes the 8000$, but that's hi-fi isn't it? As for the amps, I would bi-amp this set-up with David Berning mono since the Fertin are 100db into 8 ohm.That would surely rock the place. A great place requires a great set-up.

By the way, what kind of name is lajb@cox.net?

You've left us hanging. Help us out...
Tell us about the room and the house, even if we did make fun of you.

The story sounds like it'll be terrific.

This may be one of the funniest threads running right now.

You have got to get us more info on the room/house/church so we can lead you in the wrong direction. Just understand that if you open yourself up in these forums, look out.
