Looking at upgrading the sound on a flat TV which is really poor.
Though its a 65" tv it's not a cinema room so want something which is unobtrusive as possible. I prefer not to go down the sound bar route.

It needs to run preferably off the tv, but in worse case direct off the Sky box

I'm looking at a set of these;

I like the look of these but would need to get amplification which I would need to hide somewhere.

Can anyone recommend something similar or a small amplifier which i could hide in a wall void

 

Yes, fully agree.
It's just that i don't want anything to protrude on the wall.

 

First off, never buy Bose home audio equipment. Simply rubbish overall build and sound quality, and your dollar/euro/pound/bitcoin goes a lot further elsewhere. Paradigm, Klipsch, Def Tech, Polk, etc are all much better companies that are available everywhere.

That being said plenty of manufacturers make incredible in-wall speakers, the trick is installation. If you MUST hide everything in wall voids then you're looking at extensive line cabling (RCA, XLR, or Digital) from a central source to small digital or monoblock amps. Or, if you have a dedicated space you can run all the speaker cabling from a big receiver or amp.

Best bet is to contact an AV installation pro and pick their brain. Just too many variables and unanswered questions to give you a definitive answer.

 

Thanks for the feedback.
So the TV is mounted on a wall which was a fireplace. Either side of the TV were two voids about 14" wide, 20" deep and floor to ceiling which have been blocked in and plastered over. I already have my Sky box in the wall void (it is accessible if I need to) and was thinking to mount these in-wall speakers just above the TV.
I am looking at options, first would be standard in wall speakers but I can't think of any TV's with speaker out terminals (my old Pioneer 50" tv did have these but that's because the TV had optional external speakers), Else I am looking at adding an amp or lastly would be in-wall active speakers.

Regarding Bose, I have two of the Sound Touch 30 wireless speakers so was going to keep everything the same, but that isn't essential.
