Very cool! I think you have the speaker locations already figured out :-)

I've done many home installations but never in a space like this. A challenge, definitely - I guess some trial and error may await you.. I would say that most probably - the space has a potential for being great acoustically.

Anyway as for the reflecting/absorbing/dispersing materials in the room - things shouldn't work very differently from a situation in a 'normal' room.

 

As for the speakers suggestion - the information about your budget would definitely be helpful.

Dome shaped ceiling is acoustically interesting, it causes echo, coloration, and uneven sound levels.

+1 There is a medium size room called an 'acoustic chapel' in a cathedral in my home town. A person at one end of the room can hear very loud and clear what the person at the opposite end (10m away) of the chapel is whispering even if he's whispering very quiet and while facing the wall - it's because of specific dome shaping of the ceiling.

The floors in living room will be an earthen floor. 

 

This is really interesting.. I don't thing there are many people with earthen floor rooms audio installations experience. Anyway, I'd take care of the loudspeakers stability on a surface like this. Hmmm.. you're sure you don't want a carpet between speakers and your listening 'sweet spot'.? I'd recommend to check out this option when you're done with the choice of gear and setup..
