Hi Fred,
Welcome to the forums! I do not have design experience in this area, but I wanted to solicit a bit more information from you that can help with the process. It's always a good idea to outline goals and expectations for a project like this.
- Content preference: this room appears to be tasked as a dedicated home theater, along with possible background music during leisure time at the bar and pool table. How do you envision the HT/music ratio? For example, 90% movies and 10% music.
- SPL preference: what kind of loudness are you looking for? For example, 75-85 dB or are we talking about rock concert volume?
- Budget: what's your desired spending range and/or limit for audio gear?
Other thoughts:
The tentative dimensions suggest a very large listening environment, between 10,080 and 12,096 cu. ft. of space. Room layout, carpeting/floor, and furniture placement will have an effect on the sound quality.
If you're looking to arrange an optimal listening area, I'd suggest checking out the following links:

If I were building a dedicated HT of that size, my personal preferences would lean towards the following two options:
- Ascend's NrT Towers/Horizon up front, 4 CBM-170SE for surrounds, and 2x Rythmik Audio F15 subwoofers.
or
- Ascend's CMT-340SE up front, 4 CBM-170SE for surrounds, and 2x Rythmik Audio F15 subwoofers.
Again, the two options listed are based on my own preferences for a dedicated HT.
