Help fellow AV designers

I have a client that wants her home theater to only show the screen (probably a 55" LED)even though it is a TV rm. What are the best sounding speakers that are practically "invisible"? They currently have some cheap flush mounts in the front wall just under the ceiling (so much for hearing any highs huh). They have(3)flush mounts in the ceiling for the effects. I have recommended going to a (2)channel design but may not succeed unless I can come up with an alternative front pair of speakers that she likes the looks of. They would have to be tiny and she is against seeing a sub. She is a minimalist and likes a clean look. I can install the system in a cabinet behind the TV wall in a Study. Any help is appreciated.

You have a number of options:

1. Get an Elegant Bar Style speaker which would contain the front left, right, and center speakers in one cabinet.
Check out Leon speakers, and hide the subwoofer somewhere in the room.

2. Install Stealth Acoustics speaker which go under the drywall and are painted and feathered home, or Sonance makes these as well, they sound pretty good.

3: Mount downward angled in ceiling speakers for the fronts as well.

Why not go for a projector and an audio transparent screen and place the speakers behind the screen.

projector and an audio transparent screen is the way to go. Hey, that's the way it is done in the movie house. The benefit is that you can put in an actual sub, match all the speakers and actually create the hidden center channel. Don't forget that the installation can be married to a pair of drapes that will hide everything when not in use.

As far as the sub goes, James loudspeakers makes a in floor unit.
