Challenging Speaker Situation

I have a 20' x 20' billiard room. Other than the usual square room concerns, I am looking for the best type of speakers (and their placement) to use when I'm standing and shooting a few racks. I want to get quality sound up at the listening height, but still need the music to fill this relatively large room. I like a well balanced sound quality, and will be listening to mainly jazz and rock. Amplification isn't a concern, as I have a variety from which to choose, one of which would match just about any speaker that I use. Any advice would be appreciated.

Vienna Schoenberg on-walls would be a good call. I use them in my home theater room. Add a small sub (Velodyne SPL-R subs are being closed out at Audioadvisor.com) and you should be good to go. Short cue sticks help, too.

Okay. Don't laugh at me. But when it calls for good homogenous dispersion of sound, B&O loudspeaker lenses come to mind. If money is no object, get the Beolab 5s and maybe perch them up a little. Or just get multiple Beolab3s and mount them on the wall while reinforcing the bass with some quality subwoofers.

I put something along the lines of a B&W or Dynaudio stand-mount that fits your budget in each of the four corners then place 2 subs either 1 on each end of the room or one big 1 under the table! The slate won't move, will it?

FUN!
