So I put basically my entire home theater up on sale on the classifieds section, and I need some help!
I need front and center speakers that do not stick out more than 5 inches-ish from the wall. The fireplace mantle lip is about 5" and the fiance doesn't want anything sticking out further than that.
We do not want want any holes in the wall, but have decided that the center speaker can be mounted since it has to be directly beneath the TV. The speakers will need to be sealed or front/down ported since it will be against a wall.
This is what I'm thinking:
Front LR - Emotiva E1 as depth is only 4 inches (I already have this at home) as I can put some sticky tape on the bottom of this 4" depth and a tiny thumbtack hole and to make it so it doesn't fall off (WAF says a tiny thumbtack hole size is acceptable)
Front Center: Polk S35 as depth is about 6.5 inches (this is the slimmest center I can find that might kind of match with the emotiva and WAF has approved this one deviation)
Back Surrounds: bipole something (not sure what yet) or Emotiva E1's.
The living room is a large space and I know these don't really suffice, but its either this or nothing (and I really do not want a sound bar at all).
My sub might have to be the SVS SB12-NSD which I currently own since its small. If there is another sub that is close to this size but more powerful I am willing to take a look.
Budget is less than $1,000 for everything total (I will sell my stuff and pay out of pocket for whatever difference there is. I can also sell my SB12 NSD if need be).
The living room opens up to everything and has vaulted ceilings... the living room/dining room area is 21 long x 15 deep x 20 high... adding in the kitchen, it is 33 long x 15 deep x 20 high (all in feet).
I currently have the Polk S15's and Polk S30 + Andrew Jones Atmos and PB-2000 in a small space and this sounds better than a home theater in my small apartment now, so I know I won't get anywhere near that. I won't be able to blast my movies and music in the new place either so there's that.
Is there anything I can use that will still sound somewhat good that meets these strict requirements?
