Hi there.
I recently moved into a new home that lucky for me came with a very nice 50" HD plasma tv mounted on the wall above the fireplace. Unfortunately it also came with a piece of crap sony home theatre in a box system.
I have since upgraded to an onkyo 705 receiver and I am now looking at speakers.

What I am considering is the M22 v2, QS4, and VP100.

The problem I have is there is lilttle to no space above or below the tv to place the center channel. From the mantle above the fireplace to the bottom of the tv there is about 3 inches.. and from the top of the tv to the ceiling i'd say i've got about 5 or 6 inches. There is space on the left and right of the tv to place the center on it's side (which I've read a few posts here that say not to do), or use something instead of the vp100.
Below the mantle is a bricked in fireplace, so not much option there.

Any suggestions?
