You have a giant space. Do not consider a 3.6 - it will get lost in the space.

First get a 20.x and set it up. You will soon want to get it biamped with a really powerful amp on bass 1000 watts at 4 ohms minimum. You will also need to brace the speakers with Mye stands or something DIY. They will need to be worked hard so as not to feel slightly light in your room.

After that, say a year or two from now, start looking for a Tympani IVa or IV. That will fill out the bass and midbass and give real power to electric music and large scale acoustic music.

Finally, you may want a large sub for HT or organ works, or to give hard rock rap and house a more solid foundation.
