It is an external wall, so it would not be possible to sink the TV. I think the message is what I imagined it might be, i.e. front projection is the way to go if you want to maximize depth imaging in a system used as your home concert hall as well as your home theater.
The KEF 104/2s are about a foot wide and front ported. I don't have a good understanding of the dispersion of acoustic energy around the speaker, except that they generate a large lateral and vertical soundstage and image well within it. For example, the London CD of Solti and the Chicago Symphony performing Mahler's Second Symphony place the soloists firmly in front of the orchestra and the choir behind and above the orchestra; instruments within the orchestra are well arrayed with seemingly accurate timbre. The soundstage seems to extend well beyond the speakers; the horns that are usually staged in balconies appear to come from the upper corners of the room. The harpsichord is quite believably sitting between the KEFs in the Archiv CD of Pinnock performing Bach's Goldberg Variations as is the piano in the Philips CD of Brendel performing Beethoven's Eroica Variations.
