Re: Surround sound speaker Placement - TV in corner

["paul_watkin" <paul.watkin33@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nick,

Many thanks for the steer on the pivoting speakers, I have used the KEF
Motorised ones in the Lounge but discounted those for upstairs due to cost
and size.

Having googled a bit, looks like Speakercarft's AIM speakers will fit the
bill and I can match with the rears and Dual stero for the bathroom.

If you happen to do Speakercraft or could recommend something similar
please ping me off list

cheers
