Re: YOU'VE LISTED A MAJOR LIMITATION THAT NO ONE HAS ADDRESSED YET!

I don't have a dedicated room for audio, either. In fact, I use our family room that is also the primary play room for my 5 children. The electronics are safely tucked away in a large adjacent closet. But I was able to find an arrangement where my speakers are pulled out a few feet from the wall. For you, I think I would look for some sort of wall/bracket mounted speaker with a subwoofer. In the past I had a pair of Celestion SL6Si speakers which stood on dedicated stands. In that arrangement, they sounded almost magical, but if I put them on a bookshelf, they became very muddy sounding. I would attempt to audition speakers designed for your intended use, otherwise I would settle for spending much less, since you won't get the full benefit of the money you spend. In that case, you can actually put together a pleasing vintage system for around $400 featuring speakers by Advent, EPI, Infinity, or similar others.
