You're gonna have to get a wall unit entertainment center. A big, expensive piece of furniture that most wives are willing to accept. Get one where you can put the TV in the middle section at waist height, with two other sections on either side of the TV for speakers. You might need to get a design that has cabinet doors to cover up the speakers and TV when not in use -- depends on her tastes. I recommend speakers with good upper bass through treble for the wings, like the B&W CDM 1NT for about $900 a pair. It's a 2-way design with a front firing port. It would be real hard to get decent bass without spending a lot more money and getting pretty large in size. When you fill in your home theater, I recommend you buy a subwoofer. You could get a front firing subwoofer of relatively small size, e.g., a Sunfire True Sub Architectural, and hide it along side the wall unit or even put it in a cabinet cavity under one of the speakers. Until then, the B&W's will do a fairly good job on two channel music. Good luck; we would all like to have our cake and eat it too.
