The question a little while back about Walsh Ohm speakers is because a friend has a Victorian with very high ceilings and we're looking for a good set of speakers to envelop the rectangular living space. At the top of the proverbial rectangle is the living room, with the dining area in the middle and a kitchen at the bottom. I know the Schiitr has Salks and I've always enjoyed those as well. For a tall space, what floor standing speakers do people recommend?
A line array, maybe?
I've always imagined that something like the Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams would look good in such a space.
There was the Dayton Audio Epique but that appears to be gone.
The Amazing Line Source from Carver would be good, I think.
Any of the line arrays by Selah Audio would be good.
HST, I really really love my Janszens. My old Maggies were magic but the Janszens have that magic and proper bass. They go crazy loud with no distortion so filling a room with them is easy.
Okay I am leaning Salks rather than the Walsh Ohms, haven't been able to shake the impression of staleness than @Ableza gave them. If rag can power them so much the better.
Oh, sorry about that. If you have a chance to listen to both go with whatever you prefer, obviously. My opinion is only as good as anyone else's and it may not be in line with your preferences...

I have Salk Song 3As (Accutron for mid-range upgrade) that are driven by a single Aegir. The room is roughly 20’ wide x 35’ long with 12’ ceilings that opens back to the kitchen. I don’t like high volume but the Salks seem to have no problem filling the space. Seeing that Schiit had paired with Salks at a number of shows and that Schiit had purchased a pair was one factor in my purchase.
SongTower, Song3, and Song 3A are the ones that look interesting to me. I am not personally inclined to go much beyond the Tower though. What would the advantages be of going for more expensive things?

He is patient and responsive to inquiries. Describe your requirements to him and you will commence an honest and clear dialogue. Salk speakers are beautiful pieces too, if that is any factor in your matrix.
The room in question is roughly 25 L 14 W 11 H. I think we're probably going to be replacing the aging receiver with a new amp, though I want to try out my Panache and see if it works. The budget for the speakers is a few thousand. I don't think we'd want to spend more than a Rag on the amp. Working with a modi multibit right now and loving it.
