I think you can get more out of the AGs. The choices of speakers in your island is more European and there are plenty of horns to choose from, planars less so. The classic Tannoy speakers being a home grown option at the top end of the spectrum. But the Avant Garde is a good starting point for your space. One of their Duo bass horn models might be a better, if more costly choice.
You can try going for a listen for an Analysis Audio planar, the big one. It lacks the last bit of clarity you can get from a true ribbon tweeter, but it is a good planar speaker. But planars that will compete with a horn for dynamics require quite a bit of reworking in such a large space as your own. They would be quite expensive unless you build your own from new drivers and old "donor" speakers.
