Speakers for a very large room?


Reader of posts for a few years but have not posted a serious question until now. Currently have McIntosh integrated tube amp with some old KEF speakers. While I enjoy it in my current setting, I am moving to a house where my listening room will be 30' x 40' x 10'. It has polished concrete floors. Sounds like a grocery store but it is not. I suspect I will need to change speakers but really have no clue where to start. I listen mostly to progressive rock but also anything in the same general area. I don't know where to start with such a room? I am at least 3 hours from any major city. I did experience Treo CTs once and to bright for my ears and Wilsons but did not care for the visual appearance though liked the sound better. It was a few years ago so can't better define what I liked.  Not a great resume of listening experience but it is what it is at this point. For some reason, which may be completely wrong, I am thinking electrostatic may work well in this setting. I could easily move them 5 feet out from the back wall but then again I really don't know what I am talking about. Any kind comments would be appreciated.

for your type of listening, after tackling room issues, you might want to consider multiple subwoofers...like The Swarm
Check out the larger Ohm Walsh speakers. They work well in large spaces! Call John Strohbeen at Ohm Acoustics in Brooklyn, NY. I use a pair of the Sound Cylinders - remarkable 3-D imaging and performers right in the room!
I don't get the "large room" speaker thing unless dancing is involved. Where are you planning to position your listening spot? Back near the door to the Butler pantry? Large Magnapans also make great screens for quick costume changes, so there's that, but determine the listening spot and ask yourself, "Am I into party guests shouting at each other?" I think a well focused spot for serious listening using hjgh quality gear is what one should have, and use some ceiling speakers to fill the room once the wheels come off the party...a disco ball with led spotlights is also recommended.
