Bose-haters take a couple of beta-blockers before reading this one please!
Am in the process of doing out the living room & want to install a Surround Sound setup. The room is oblong about 25' long & 15' wide with a beamed ceiling & 1 foot thick centre wooden crown-post. I'll be putting a plasma in the middle of one of the narrower walls & sitting about 10-12' from it centrally.
Whilst I want a good surround sound setup & also listen to CDs etc I don't want floor / wall mounted speakers. I want them to be as inobtrusive as possible & really want to mount the satellites on the ceiling on the beams in the corners of the room pointing downwards whilst hiding the sub (I've got the opportunity to hide cabling in the ceiling while the room's being re-done)
Have seen Bose Acoustimass with the jewel speakers setup this way & really like them, but given the almost rabid anti-Bose theme running through the forum my question would be is these a better sounding alternative to the Bose with a similar form-factor that can be ceiling mounted & thus inobtrusive?
Appreciate the help & advice guys.
Thanks
