Look at how "challenging" my friend's space is. Cathedral ceiling like yours. She thanks me every day for her walnut natural satin M5s, driven by my 20 year-old Denon and $99 Sony sub. The M5s are poised on $5, 10" high stands from IKEA.

There are no M5s to be heard. Just tall, deep, wide soundstage behind and beside them with solid images performing on that stage. With the right recordings, like Madonna's Vogue, the entire room is ablaze with prancing images.

She has no trouble rocking throughout her 4-story home!

You do not need floor-standing and on-wall would work great to de-clutter your space.
