Thanks for the suggestion, opusk2k9. Yes, trying to fit a home theater into a room designed more as a family room is proving to be a challenge. Actually, we had rearranged the furniture to face the wall opposite the kitchen just as you suggested. But after living with it for a couple of weeks, decided it defeated the purpose of the remodel we did that opened the kitchen to the family room So while that would certainly simplify things, we're going to have to stick with the TV between the patio doors. I appreciate your thoughts.

Those would be a good option if I could mount them on the TV wall, but I don't see how I could. The TV will be mounted on the wall bumpout shown in the drawing. The bumpout only extends 8" on each side of the TV, so there won't be enough space for these. Regarding Front Heights... being new to this, I had already purchased 4 Klipsch KHC-6 in-ceiling speakers for Front and Rear Heights, but have since been told they're probably not a good choice, given the extreme height of the room at 14 '. So, yes, it looks like I'll also be looking for Front and Rear Heights that can be mounted on the left and right walls, perpendicular to the TV. (There are windows directly above the french doors, extending all the way up to the ceiling).

Thank you, willland. Yes, we do need to open all four doors occasionally... our outdoor eating area is just through them and we do have parties with large groups. I'm afraid in-wall is the only option for the fronts. We're in Phoenix and do like having the doors open in the winter months.

Thank you Gnote. Those definitely look like nice speakers, but I don't see how I could make them work, given the doors need to be opened fully.

I've got a space restriction on both sides of the TV due to two sets of French Doors exiting out to the patio. I'm thinking the best option would be in-wall LR Fronts and in-wall LR Front Heights, all mounted on the two walls perpendicular to the TV wall, but distributing their sound angularly into the listening space. Will also probably need in-wall angular for rear surrounds and rear heights due to the lack of any mounting wall at the back rear of the listening area (mounted on the wall just behind the seating area). Room layout is attached. Does anyone know of a Klipsch or other manufacturer option for in-wall angular speakers for these purposes?
