I'm not ready to retire to a soudbar anytime soon but I have an itch to modernize the look of the front end a bit. Anything good out there?

    Yes. I'm doing "on wall" cuz of room layout constraints.

    I'd rather do on wall than in wall as I can dabble in different speakers.

    Started with RTi4 and CSi3 and a wimpy PSW303 sub

    Dabbled with LSi7s too:

    Had RTiA3s for quite a while (and got a 'real' sub - Epik Valor 15" sealed):

    Currently using B&W CDM1NT for fronts, CDMC-SE center, still got that awesome Epik:

    I'd be interested in flatter on-wall, if there is such a thing.

    Dang I forgot about those Sunfire on walls!
    Will need to locate a local dealer to get a listen.
    B stock & used prices look doable.
    Glad I did not give those Epik Empires away I may soon have floor space up front where they belong.

    Much thanks for the replies!

    Thanks - it does the job.

    I'm still using RTi4s in back from my first go-round...they do surround duty just fine, and match well with the B&Ws.

    Although not as slim as some of the above options, Polk's new Signature S35 is an interesting possibility.
    Wall Mountable Left or Right Front Speaker

    Use two (left and right channels) or three to create an optimal, timbre match front (left, right and center) acoustic array. Featuring built-in four-way keyhole slots for easy mounting.
