Recommend speakers for a large living room

I’ll second the comment by Atmasphere above, to the effect that special consideration should be given to speakers that are easy to drive.

That would be beneficial in several ways: Whatever amplifier(s) you choose will most likely sound better; the need for less power is likely to lower the cost of suitable amplification considerably; a greater percentage of whatever amount of money you choose to invest in amplification would be likely to go toward quality rather than toward watts; and, finally, less heat is likely to be put into the room by the amplifier(s), if that may be a consideration for your apartment.

One speaker which certainly meets that requirement, and that would be suitable for use in a large space such as yours, and that I believe is consistent with your budget, is the Daedalus Zeus that was suggested earlier in the thread.

Although with those as well as many of the other speakers that have been suggested the need for multiple listening positions would seem to be problematical. If you want to consider Daedalus a conversation with Lou Hinkley (its designer/manufacturer), who is wonderful to deal with, is likely to provide you with helpful guidance about suitability and placement.

Good luck. Regards,

Ask Ted Nugent😎🍺

I'm going to through this out there - Shahinian Acoustics "Diapason Ensemble".  They are located not far from you on Long Island.

Good Luck, TISH

@racamuti , 
I like the Shahinian's. But, they are more in the class of Ohm. Very spacious, but nebulous sound. If the OP wants this, then they would be a great choice. On the other hand, if the OP wants something that provides a detailed soundstage, I would opt for either Vandersteen, MBL, Sound Labs or Magnepan.
I wish I could demo the Daedalus or Sonus Faber, as so many here on Agon have sung their praises.
