Thanks for input. After somemore extensive searching, I've seen others with the same problem. The consensus is...
speakers:good
speakers in cabinet:bad.
I will look at the possibility of putting the speakers on the floor in front of the cabinets. I essentially have an entertainment center that spans the full width of the family room. The speaker cabinets of the entertainment center are set back deeper than the rest of the unit. So, putting speakers on the floor in front will not look too bad. They will still be even (same distance out from the wall) with the TV and main part of the unit. There will be some room behind the speakers so they can breathe, I guess that's how you say it, right.
I will post back with results if I go ahead with the purchase.
