I will take a look at the Canton speakers, here in a moment. Speakers in the walls, however, are out. Except for two walls that enclose the spare bedroom and bath,on the lower floor, there are no walls except for the outer wall of the house. I don't think that the space is all that live, either, as it seems more to be the reflective structure, itself. No walls to block sound that is bounced in every direction, as none of the triangles that make the structure are parallel to any other. I was just listening to Gary Moore over some old voice of music speakers I was given, and realized that I need to move the sound stage back down toward the first floor... That won't be easy, because of the way I have to use the space. Here's a photo of my system, built in under the stairs that run along the only wall. Seating is against the outer wall of the dome, facing in, and there just isn't a lot of room for speakers along the inner area. That's the major traffic route through the place. I think I'm going to have to do some experimenting with smaller, bookshelf sized to lower the soundstage, while keeping larger speakers (I've grown to like the sound of 15" guitar speakers in a couple of cabs I've built for friends), possibly some DIY 3-ways up top. I'll just have to play for awhile. Thanks for the input.
