That room is pretty hopeless for decent surround HT in it's current configuration.
Best you can do would be to get the M3's and wall mount them. At least you would have a decent 2 channel music system.
Or get a new wife?
The M22's are the greatest bang for the buck product that Axiom makes imo. If you could rearrange the room properly, I would recommend them and a sub and surrounds. But with that out of the question your options are very limited.
I see that the will is there, but do you have the yarbles to make a stand?
In my home, I find the best place for speaker placement first and
then I arrange the furniture around
that!
But good audio is a priority in my house. A quality of living "issue".
Luckily, my lady shares my dogmatic approach to music and movies!
You could look into the Gallo "lifestyle" product line. Great sounding and unobtrusive, but it might be too odd or weird for those with conventional tastes.
