Speaker Selection Help

I agree with Tboone, that is a huge room, and if it were square,
the dimensions would be 50 X 50. Did you mean 2500 cubic feet?
It might be best to clarify with the dimensions.

I'm assuming you mean 250 sq ft, not 2,500.

Check the Salk SongTowers which are about $2,200 with shipping. Keep your current center until you are ready to buy a matching Song Center.

I think this is about the best bang for the buck in your price range.

You are in a typical hopeless situation, that being the wife is in control of you listen life. Then there is the size of your room, another hopeless condition on the budget you have, especially considering the additional funds that would be needed to provide room treatments. My advice? Forget speakers, just get a good pair of headphones and maybe a headphone amp. Any money left over should be turned over to the wife to be used on her shoe wardrobe. The bonus of my suggested solution is that the benefits of martial bliss will flow to you, and do so quickly.

+1 Buconero, One of the most useful marital retorts is keeping track of exactly how many pairs of black shoes in your wife's inventory.

Be warned though, use this sparingly. I went overboard and she culled through her collection which made room for updates.

Consider upgrading the wife first, then the speakers :)
