Romy,
I understand your situation as a result of the move. It is a good thing because a system that is out of proportion with not work in a family environment and ultimately you will be battling yourself between sound and family priorities and practicality (I think). Maybe smart downsizing is a wiser approach in this situation. I propose a different solution. Single driver compound corner horn with phase compensation.

here's a link to speaker that is in the direction I am thinking:

Now imagine it in the corner so that the front mouth is transitioning into room walls, floor and ceiling. Also, the rear horn is opening into the floor and ceiling gaps where the mouth opening stops short and creates large enough areas to make the rear horn mouth proper size. The phase plug is a idea from my current Funktion One horns. It helps to widen the sweet spot and also shapes the mouth opening so that it is a true exponential or tractrix (or whatever) contour rather than just a big waveguide. 
Since the back radiation will screw up the phase response I wonder if it's possible to compensate with a passive all pass filter or good DSP and FIR filter to adjust the phase response at the transition between front and rear horns?
