I know I'm jumping in late, but if I had your situation, I'd love to have this Klipsch system: http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=936&dmore=False&rmore=False http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=906 I believe you can hang the speakers on the wall, and they're low profile, so they blend with the tv. Use the stands for the speakers that have to go where there's no walls.
