Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently

In porevious threads I've bemoaned the fact that my Kharma 3.2 FEs don't fill the room, 17 X 23 X 15 ft ceilings with a vertical enough soundstage, as though the speakers are literally too small. I have been advised to raise them,which I have done, , I have told to get taller, line arrays, even given names of custom speaker makers. Any specic recommendations from those that have had, and have conquered, this issue.

10" wide limit? Wow.<<

I can stretch it to 18" - just wont be able to open the drawer next to it. That means the Tyler Woodmeres, Zu Definitions, Presesnce of those mentioned, would do. There's a used pair of the former on A'gon for $6,500

I would think the impedance curve of the Zu Definition, Presence, or any of the Coincident speaker lineup would be better suited than the Tylers to your Atma-Sphere amps.

Tvad, I appreciate your input thus far (as usual). Which of all these contenders have you heard?

I've head the Definitions and the top-of-the-line Coincident model, but honestly I don't believe it matters what I think of them. What's most important is that the speakers you consider have impedance specs that mate with your amps. Ask Ralph.

How about Dali Megalines? I've seen them used at 15k, but you will need to biamp and may want to upgrade the Xover. Nevertheless, they will fill your space coherently and are about 10" wide. Check Albert Porter's virtual system here on Agon.
