Home Theater Speakers exclusively

Thank you for the responses. My room is 24'6" long by only 12 feet wide. The screen is 6 feet away from the back wall and I can move it further into the room. Point being, the speakers have plenty of room behind them. 

I am a disciple of Jim Smith and "Get Better Sound" so I understand a good bit about placement. And having Vandys for the last 15 years, I know how critical good placement is.

Be that as it may, the speakers will stay behind the screen. 

Yesterday, I plugged the B&W's into my Ayre VX5- Twenty amp and the sound improved immensely, but I doubt I keep the B&Ws. 

@cajunbaseball if you have a screen, you should really look into JTR. since they're not the prettiest, hide them haha. in fact, they're prob meant for that. if you want, pm me and i can give you more info and probably help you pricing wise...i'm NOT a dealer, just a huge fan and jeff (the owner) takes care of returning customers and referrals. 

Used Definitive Technology tower speakers circa 1990's when Sandy Gross was still around are my best kept secret for HT speakers. I own over a dozen HT floor-standing speakers and these things crush.  Bipole design, massive soundstage, clarity, and dynamics, built in powered subs.  Killer.

I would keep an eye out for used BP2000tl or BP3000tl towers with matching CLR3000 center channel.  Can be had for around $1,000 a pair or less.  Set an ebay reminder to be notified when they pop up.  Extraordinary value, and it bests a lot of speakers recommended in this thread which shall not be named.

Just received my custom in wall DI's from Eric.  They are 57"h x 12"D x 12"W.  The subwoofers are crazy big.  Two double 15" subs.  Then two atmos speakers for the ceiling.  If you give Eric the dimensions that you want to work with he can create it.  I am going to have a 135 inch screen and the speakers will not be behind the screen.
