Hi,
Have a unique setup where the TV is placed against a corner wall (one side = wall, one side = door). Not ideal at all, but you make do with the space you got. To make matters worse, there's a sloped ceiling, so the TV is limited in height. The TV is a 55", so it has used up most of the space to either side. My seating distance from the TV is roughly 2m-2.3m.
Overall, a KALLAX unit on the floor gives me about 22.5cm of height to work with before you hit the bottom of the TV, roughly. However, given that it is an old house and the floor is fairly bowed at this point, I'm gonna need to prop the door facing side of the KALLAX up by around 20mm. That means I'll likely need to install feet to prevent bowing of the unit, and thus we lose some height.
Still, I want to avoid being stuck with a soundbar if at all possible, for obvious reasons.
Due to this, I've been thinking about speakers that I could put on their side instead. I thought about something like the KEF LSX, as expensive as they are. They'd be perfect as putting them on their side has zero issues with their sound, but they do still have a ton of issues with software, which is a pain for the price they ask for them. I did look at the LS50s but looks like they're slightly too tall on their side, it'd be a tight fit (they're 20cm tall on side).
I also came across the Micca OoO and MB42-C (I assume you could use them as L-Rs as good as the OoO?) and those might work great due to their limited height when on their side. I'm in the UK but looks like Micca can be imported easily from Amazon. I know the MTM configuration on its side is not good for horizontal dispersion, but perhaps that won't be such a big deal if I'm sitting in the same place (basically spinning around at the desk) all the time when using them?
Open to suggestions or experiences based on similar situations, but my limitations are what they are.
