Thanks for your advice.
What do you think of a 5.1 ROCKET setup? This is more in my price range! :)

Need Help - Difficult room accoustics
Trying to decide on a 5.1 setup in the 1500-$2000 range. Small floorstanders are OK but would also consider monitors. This a a HT room with:
Marantz SR8000
Sony DVP-S7000
Sanyo XP21N Front Projector
Dalite Cosmopolitan 120" Diagonal Screen
No way to change the following layout which I understand is far from optimal, so I'm hoping for some good advice.
L/R fronts must be within 1-1.5' from sidewalls and 5' from front wall with velvet curtains 1' behind the speaker location. (This creates a small 'studio' behind the projector screen and curtains.)
Approx 1' forward of front left speaker, the room opens up left nearly 8'.
Approx. 5' forward of the front right speaker, the room opens up right nearly 5'.
Seating location is right up against the rear wall, approx. 15' from the front speaker locations. 8' to the left wall and 5' to the right wall.
8' ceilings.
Room use is 60% HT/40% music.
What speaker would you recommend for this ugly situation? I'm thinking omnipolars (like the Mirage OM250 front and Omnisat rears?) because I'm afraid directional speakers can never work.
PLEASE, all opinions are greatly appreciated.
