OK I was running just 2 speakers and a subwoofer in the past. Can't do surround in this room unless it's wireless (concrete slab, vaulted ceiling with no attic), and my center channel didn't sound good with my other speakers.
My setup was two floor standing Infinity Entra II speakers and a cheap/small Infinity Sub that sucked.
I am replacing my speakers due to ordering a new LCD TV & custom oak stand/entertainment center.
I want to hide the speakers in the new stand and they are putting in speaker cloth on the side doors. The side area where my new speakers will live will be 7" wide X 22" high X 30" deep. The speaker cloth will only be about 4" wide (not sure if that will cause problems, if so I can remove the doors all together).
What I want:
Option A - Just replace my existing setup with a couple good sounding bookshelf speakers that will fit & a new sub (not too big). It will sit on laminate flooring so not sure if it should fire down or sideways.
Option B - Same as option A but add a center channel that can go on top and isn't obnoxious to look at (wife decides whats obnoxious looking).
Option C - Add in some wireless surround speakers (probably won't be worth it).
I hadn't really thought about a budget. $800-$1,000 maybe?
Maybe something narrow like the Boston Acoustics MCS 130 Satellites, since my speaker cloth opening will be narrow? Or the HS 225's?
