My house is currently being remodeled and I managed to broker a deal with my wife to update my home theater. I won't have a dedicated theater room, but it will be primarily be used to house my AV gear. I've received so many differing opinions from sales guys--it's driving me nuts, haha. I’m looking for feedback on speakers and design.
A bit about the room:
Budget: ~$15k all-in, which should give me up to $10k to buy the speakers.
Rough mockups attached. Blue dots are in-ceiling, green are bookshelf, sub, center, and towers.
Would in-wall work with this setup? It seems like bookshelves would be better?

A bit about the room:
- It's on the second floor and has wood floors. We'll put down some heavy wool rugs and curtains to minimize sound reflection.
- The room is ~270 square feet. 17'4” wide, 16' long if you don’t count the stairwell. If you count that area, we’re looking at 19’4”.
- I own the couch, media console, and desk already, but all of the A/V equipment will be new (to me, I’ll may buy some stuff used).
- Receiver: Denon AVR-X4800H or Marantz Cinema 40 - I want Atmos and Dirac
- TV: 77” LG G3 - couch seating is ~8'9" from the TV
- Towers: GoldenEar Triton One R
- Surrounds: GoldenEar BRX or MPX (Just read the BRX review and it wasn't very impressive, but it seems heavily recommended outside of this forum?)
- Center: GoldenEar SuperCenter Reference
- Sub: SVS SB-2000 (TBD, will likely add later)
- In-Ceiling: Goldenear Invisa HTR 7000
Budget: ~$15k all-in, which should give me up to $10k to buy the speakers.
