.., and because near-wall placement is one of the only ways to get deep bass from a mini-monitor system (sans subwoofer), it would make sense to look at compact speakers designed with near-wall placement in mind. Two relatively affordable examples of this genre of loudspeakers come from Sjofn HiFi and Guru Audio.Check these speakers out, but remember that setup procedures for speakers like these must be followed *exactly* in order to reap the extended frequency response advertised...

Thanks. Not heard of these but will look into them.

The most highly reviewed I've come across(but havent heard) is the KEF 50S. Ecstatic reviews and priced at $1500.00
and imo the kef ls50 is completely overated and definitely not suitable for a huge space.OP, you have a huge space, you need a speaker that can move some air. I doubt you will be satisfied with a 5 incher. And a sub do not replace the mid bass quality of a bigger woofer.
I havent heard enough speaker to recommend a 1500$ floorstander though. the price is the limiting factor here.
if your diy incline, the http://www.pispeakers.com/Prices.html pi4 speaker would be perfect for your room, would sound really good and probably be the bset you can do with your budget.
Diyhifisupply crescendo system is also in your price range if you just get the speakers and add a subwoofer later on.
In commercial speakers, I think you will have to loook at a lot of offering in the used market, ect.

Most reviewers state that the LS50 sounds better away from the walls and corners and also that it requires a subwoofer if you want really deep bass. You can place them near a wall but they may not sound as good as speaker designed to be used within a few inches of the wall behind them.
In any case, I don't think that the LS50 can do without a subwoofer as easily as a properly set up pair of Sjofn "The Clue" speakers can. If I had a pair of LS50s and was forced to place them very close to the walls, I would certainly prefer to route all of the bass below 100 hz. to a dedicated subwoofer system so that some sort of bass equalization can be applied.
