My wife and I recently moved into a new house and our family room is significantly smaller than the one in our old house.The room is approximately 13' square. We used to have a large oak entertainment center on which all of our HT equipment sat. At the time, we had a 32" Sharp TV, an old Kenwood Prologic receiver, and just recently I had purchased some Energy speakers (more on that later). In the new place, the entertainment center would have just overwhelmed the room, so my wife proposed we look for a new TV and dump the entertainment center. Needless to say, I didn't take much convincing.

We went out and purchased new the following:

Samsung 56" DLP TV
Yamaha RX-V1400

In addition, I salvaged the following from our old setup:

Toshiba 5 Disc carousel DVD player
Sharp Hi-FI VCR
Energy XL-C center channel speaker
Energy XL-16 bookshelf speaker
Energy Take 2 satellites for the rears
Kenwood Subwoofer from an old HTIB
TIVO Series 2
Digital and HD Cable

Needless to say, with this setup I was starting to get very happy. With the exception of upgrading the subwoofer, I just about had my perfect system (at least for what I can afford).

Here's my problem..... the moment I went to go mount the XL-16's to the wall (the wife will not longer accept stands as she doesn't think they're stable enough for children), my wife said that the XL-16's were too big and ugly to go on the wall and asked me to come up with a better solution. So here I am trying to decide what to do. I could theoretically get another set of Take 2's, but my question is how well will they sound compared to the XL-16's ? I guess I could also consider a pair of Energy Encores. And then my final problem would be whether either of these two new speakers would properly match to my XL-C center channel, or am I going to have to replace that too ??

Any help or suggestions anyone can make would be appreciated.
Thanks
