I had a projector in my bedroom but with the movie room built and TVs getting very affordable in sizes 85 and above I decided to go with a TV in my bedroom a mid tier 85 inch Samsung
Happy with the TV but deciding what I want to do for sound
The room has a unique build with the studs only going up the center of the wall partway. So wall mounting it was not an option
I was happy with the solution I came up with which was to place it on top of my dresser

But now for speakers. Of course a center channel is out of the option but I've had 2 channel and 2.1 in that room with great results
I like dynamics and do get loud sometimes
I'd prefer to start 2.0 without a sub for now and buy a sub later so towers will be preferred but won't mind monitors if they are dynamic enough. Bookshelves won't keep up for me in my experience
my price point will be at its max up to 3 to 4k as this will be my end game set of speakers for this room
Could use some help with options
I'm leaning towards Arendal but I hear their towers can be tricky to cross over to subs
So my list so far is
Arendal: the 1723S towers or monitors or the THX towers or monitors
JBL: the HDI just went off sale I could rebuy 698 but I've been down the JBL road want to go with something different
The new SVS line: the Titan 6.5 model or the older prime pinnacle? Or just find a used pair of the old SVS ultra towers a pairs listed on marketplace in my area for $1300
Emotiva: Airmotiv XT3 Floorstanding Tower Loudspeakers (Pair)
RBH: Impression series 85IR (pair)
Martin Logan: MartinLogan Motion Foundation F2 (pair)
Any additional ideas you have would be great
The room is 16 long x 14 wide speakers set out in room properly listening distance will be about 10 feet to where my head is at
Any advice on good tower or monitor options for 2.0 that could eventually expand to 2.1 would be greatly greatly appreciated
Thank you for your help
