Small family living room floor-standing speakers?

Definitive Technology

I just bought a B&W soundbar, it's pretty nice for my wife and kids. Significantly sound improvement and all self contained. Auto turns on/off so wife kids will love it.

Fits right below our 52" tv....I'd at least check this out.
google b and w soundbar and it'll take you right there...

These comments have been very helpful, especially the front vs. rear port comment. Many of the speakers you've mentioned are small, but still require being set out from the wall a foot or more. So now, here is where I am:

Floor-standers: Arros (great comments, rear-ported but can be placed as close as 6" to the read wall), silverline preludes (6moon says they sounded good very close to the rear wall), Aerial 6 (front-ported).

Stand-mounted: I know, I'm all over the map here, but help me out. Can I get something like Totem Dreamcatchers and wall mount them (so I don't take up floor space and don't spend lots of $$ on stands)? Can you recommend speakers that would work well here (can be close to wall, smallish, disappear sonically, etc.)?

At the moment, I'm not sure that I need to go with floor-standing instead of stand-mounted speakers, and I'm thinking I can get great HT and audio from wall-mounted speakers. Would I need a sub?

Help?

Some Linn's might fit the criterion. Having a TV directly between the speakers is going to make having the "...speakers to sonically disappear" challenging to say the least.

If your going to be watching movies with
The family then yes you need a subwoofer
I think a 12 Inch sub is perfect for movies and you
can add weight to your music and expand the
width and depth of your soundstage
