Have a non-ideal setup with non-negotiable placement that I'd love some help on. We are converting a bedroom into a playroom / TV room, and the TV (a 65" screen) is getting placed in a corner of the room. There's not space on either side of the TV for speakers, but given the size of the room (14' x 12') and the viewing distance from the intended seating area (8' to 11', depending on location), a smaller TV isn't an option.
My plan is to have speakers under the TV to be used for stereo music listening and TV output. I don't want floor standing speakers because that will raise the TV too high, so I am looking for bookshelf speakers. I'm ok with passive or active, no real preference though I might lean active as I'll have to purchase an amp otherwise. The criteria I'm looking for is:
(1) solid off axis FR;
(2) will function well on table stand when only 12" off the floor (narrow vertical dispersion?);
(3) MUST have a grille cloth (extra credit for repetition for durability and any other protection, as this will be close to the floor in a part time play room); and
(4) functions well when relatively close to the wall (front port / sealed?).
No fixed budget, but I don't want to drop $4K for speakers and have a kid rip through a tweeter so increased cost must come with increased durability.
Suggestions?
