My home is being remodeled. The wall that is for electronics is where the front door opens. I have put floor standing speakers there but with new construction this will not work so speakers on-wall or in-wall or some kind of custom column will be the path. the room is 1500 cu.ft. the wall is 9 ft wide the other 2 feet will be cabinet/shelf for TT, pre, amps, vinyl etc. Tv will be 65 in. no surround anywhere. I will be using Nord 8 ch for active 4-way with minidsp. The other side of the wall will be closet in my wife's office so space isn't a huge issue behind the wall but i think sealed over infinite baffle is preferred by my wife. the speaker layout and design is where i get lost and need help. It looks like $2500 for drivers is about the top of the budget and i have looked at several of options. Layout, size speakers , brands are all open. i was thinking of using Aurum Cantus g1 and AST25120 Aero for tweeters. I do like the way ribbons and amt sound.
4-way active wall of speakers for stereo listening
my room is 1500 cu.ft and i will be doing active pair of 4-way speakers around a 65"tv on a 9x11 wall. no surround and mainly for stereo music listening. It will be new construction and the other side of the wall is a closet in a bedroom / my wife's office. I am going with minidsp and nord 8 ch amp. The driver configurations I came up with based on stealing ideas from various towers and on-wall ran around $1000 a side for drivers. I am open to ideas. $2500 budget for drivers. i am interested in ribbon/amt(aurum g1 & ast2560)for high/high mid with tradition drivers for mid/bass and bass. Again open to ideas and hope for advice on driver location in or on wall or maybe combo in a column as long as it only came out a few inches from the wall. Floorstanding loudspeakers are out but the closet behind the wall will allow me to make custom boxes. i don't think baffle will work with my wife's office being on the other side. Thanks in advance.

new construction so furniture will be in new location. 1500 cu.ft was based on the room with 8 ft ceiling but it acually with be a low vault till the kitchen and the wall that divided the living and kitchen is being removed
You want to mount the speakers inside the bedroom closet, with their fronts flush with the LR wall?
Looks like they will have to be rather close together. The mounting height will be important,
which you can't know until the speakers are designed. You can get very good sound with this
type of installation, if the height is about right for the particular speaker design.

yes in closet flush mounted.the wall is 9 ft wide so probably 7 ft apart. i would think the tweeter being ear height is where i would start. I am looking at combining the aurum cantus G1 and AST25120 Aero stacked at ear level. then mids and bass are open for debate. the $2500 for drivers budget would have a big chunk in the ribbon/amt combo. I will be using minidsp 4x10 hd and 8 ch nord amp.
