Speaker recomendation

My main room is 16x32, roof about 10 ft.
I have 2 preamps & amps and 4 speakers in this room.
One pair focused at this computer, the other focused on a bed where i frequently spend the night, listening to music and sleeping.
It seems to be a better plan than having one bigger amp and 2 bigger speakers.  Costs less, and is more flexible/controllable.
Almost FTM, have more preamps/amps and speakers for the kitchen and for the bathroom, never miss a beat, nothing like a hot bath with Beethoven.

Looks as though the dealers spooked the OP. Good job fellas!

Hi OP, Hope you are still around. I had a similar space, 30' by 25' open kitchen and family room with a 12' ceiling. I bought a used Salk HT3 right / left / center and 15" Sub for about $6k used and run it with a couple of Crown Class D amps with tons of power (almost 700 watts at 4 ohms) and it fills the room nicely and would be at the low end of your budget. Salk makes fantastic looking and fantastic sounding speakers. If you can find some on the used market they are hard to beat. Of course for your budget, if you go the Class D route, you can probably afford to have Jim build the speakers for you and pick out your own veneers. And no, I don't have any relationship with Jim Salk other than enjoying the way my speakers look and sound. 

Good luck with your journey. 

any mid-fi to high-end 3-way speakers with 15" woofers and a bass reflex port, will suffice. I’ve tried other variations such as smaller 2-way boutique speakers with smaller 8", 10", 12" speakers and no bass port, and no midrange- they make the highs sharper and more in your face, but at a severe loss of bass or midrange response. and you get tired of listening to them. the 3-way with bass reflex just does everything well, and ends up being a smoother, fuller sound, and bigger soundstage. even going from a 15" box 3-way w/reflex, to a 12" box 3-way w/reflex, sacrificed too much sound. the bass was noticeably attenuated i.e. lossy.  the 3-way w/15" and reflex is hard to beat overall, it's a forgotten benchmark that still holds true today.

Some of these comments are really 'amateur'.  Would you buy a car sight unseen just because a bunch of people you don't even know let alone trust tell you what to buy? Find a good hi store and listen to some different options.  Even if you don't have one where you live, for that kind of investment it's worth a drive.  I got back into hifi about 4 months ago and I'm already on my second pair of speakers.  Fortunately my dealer offers a 100% credit as long as you buy something for 2 x the cost of the original purchase.  Not sure where you live but his store is in Champaign, IL...Glenn Poors
