 NHT makes some great speakers in your price range. Important to realize that if you place any speakers in your room you will get much better sound by placing them on the 12' wall and aiming them along the longer axis of the room. If you choose not do that then I would go with very small tweater/mid-range speakers and a large subwoofer that can be placed near a wall. |
I don't think this is always the case, I have heard speakers that sounded better sitting on the long wall facing across the shorter distance. I guess it really comes down to the design of the speaker and the layout of the room.
Regarding amp size, if you have clip indicators or know how far you can push an amp then size doesn't matter. I only use 20Watt amps in my theatre and in all honesty to reach 90dB at the listening position I probably only use about 10watts.
