Oh please God no.
I'm not sure why I'm so resistant to Sonos but I think it's a combination of snobbery, cost and a belief that it's just so overrated. I have to admit that the soundbar/satellites/sub combo I heard at Richer sounded pretty damned good but the sub is £700!
I think the Yamaha MusicCast multiroom system is a very strong proposition and I want to find a solution within that. Might look at the new Monitor Audio Monitor 50 speakers which look like they are intended for wall-mounting and will murder a pair of Play:1s for less money (cost of amp not included, obvs).

In my never-ending quest to make the best of an odd-shaped room with corner AV unit and L-shaped sofa - and having tried everything from floorstanders to a soundbar and sub - I'm pretty sure the best compromise is a stereo pair mounted two-thirds of the way up the wall opposite the most-used sofa.
So I'm looking for a speaker which will tolerate being in a corner, not far from the walls and ceiling, and ideally not need a sub. Being where they are, the smaller, the better.
What should I look at for my £300 budget?
