Based on placement. I am trying to decide on speakers for my family room. It is primarily a TV room (HT) but does play some music. My concerns are room characteristics and how speakers will be affected.
The room is 13'.5 x 17'x 8'.5 with a 10' opening to the kitchen along one of the 17' walls. Lets see if I can draw this.

The x's represent speaker placement within the room and the dotted line between the uppermost X's is a 61" dlp. The tv will be on a stand (built in) approximately 20" high. The placement of furniture means I need to put the speakers on the shelf next to the tv. I believe there is room for M80's but was wondering if they were the best choice, given the proximity of the tv given the corners and room layout.
If it matters I am considering w22 for the rears.

Edited...
I will try to clarify if this post receives responses.
