I've never concerned myself with home theater sound, and still don't, but I do like better quality than internal speakers.
Currently, I use a pair of Elac UB5's with an old Harmon Kardon amp for better sound.
I am in the process of remodeling the family room. When complete the UB5 speakers will not work in the space ergonomically; one would be on a book shelf, the other would be on a 36" tall stand in front of a floor to ceiling window.
My only real option is a sound bar that is connected to the full motion arm supporting the television, so the speaker and TV move together.
Goals:
I know this is pretty vague. I'm hoping some good folks here can guide me to some good 2"-4" drivers that can cover this range with reasonable fidelity.
It did occur to me that using a pair of good car audio speakers from the likes of Infinity or Focal might be a good idea?
If I am completely off my rocker, let me know.

Goals:
- 65" wide sound bar
- Frequency response of 80hz-20khz
- Use subwoofer to cover 30-100hz range
- Stereo is a minimum. LCR if its reasonable for possible future surround.
