Can you help or do I have to get divorced?

Size and Placement does matter do to a misunderstood wife. I can't have speakers on stands, I can't have floorstanding speakers, and in-wall speakers are too permanent. What in the hell am I suppost to do? My room is 17' X 14' and I'm looking for speakers that will be used for music listening and eventually home theater listening. (when I can afford to complete the system). I want to find a good pair of speakers and amp that I can eventually build a good home theater system with. I need to stay below $1,000 for speakers. Any advice?

Buy a nice set of head-phones.

If you insist on speakers you want to look at horns.

If you don't like horns you need something specifically designed for on-wall placement. Anything else will have an anoying lower midrange boost.

I had the same problem in my kitchen.
I ended up with B&W 302's on shelf brackets held on
with double-stick tape.Never fallen or been a problem.
I think any smaller front ported speaker should do fine.
Bigger speakers would just need bigger brackets.This way
of mounting is better than drilling holes in the rear of the speaker,as some bracketry calls for.By the way,I paired
the 302's with a Bryston B60 and a sony sacd player.My wife
loves the sound and is thrilled with the speakers off the floor.

NO point throwing model #s at you in thsi situation.

Make her a partner in this search. Look at and examine all the speakers together, you get to choose the sound, she the size and looks. There is bound to be something you both will agree on.

I recommend Wall Mount Electrostatic Speakers

Check out Martin Logan Script i or older model such as Martin Logan Stylos

They look like decor hang on the wall.

This thread started 4 years ago. I think it's a mute point at this time.

john1in2, boy does that sound like the same old song.

Two reasons why most marriages end in divorce:

1) The woman goes into the marriage believing she can change the man.

2) The man goes into the marraige believing the woman will not change.
