This is partially a WAF question, but I would like to do this too -
I have my 52" Sony LCD on a stand. I don't have much room in front of the TV, maybe 4 inches or so. I would like to mount a surroundbar on the wall behind the TV. I'd get a Polk, as I do have some leftover wired rear surrounds and an A/V receiver, and could run the Polk as L-C-R, or use it as intended and take down the ugly old flat-tape speaker wire and Bose surrounds.
- Or I could get that Boston Acoustics P400B and do the same. I also considered the Sony CT-100, but I do have a receiver sitting there now.
One annoyance, My TV is silver. At least the polk could match a little. Mounting it behind the TV, I'd go with black, since all the newer TV's are "back in black" (cue AC/DC...) I just bought the TV 2 years ago, and I already want one of the 120Hz motionflow models someday, so black hidden can one day be wall mounted and matching, I hope.
Anyway, back to my original question - can I mount a surroundbar on the wall behind the TV, to make it not visible from dead on? I know it's not ideal, but after ditching my crummy Bose Acoustimass stuff, we've been using the TV's speakers for a couple of years now. So while not an audiophile by any stretch, I'd still like to hook up a sub and get some decent sound for movies and football.
