I asked about potential new speakers in a thread, ended up being convinced to buy my SVS sub instead.

I know the feeling, I originally joined this forum to ask a question about a specific BR, now I'm building a home theater

Unfortunately, I largely underestimated the physical limitations of my small room. I tried a 5.1 setup with floorstanders and a large center speaker, it (barely) fits but that means many compromises with furniture. That also means speaker placement is not ideal. Smaller bookshelves would be a much better option in that regard and I guess bookshelf speakers with a sub is OK for movies and music.

I was just wondering if I can use the fronts from the 5.1 mini speaker set I bought and mount them as atmos speakers? I'd keep the other satellites from the set as surrounds, keep the mini center speaker if it blends well with the bookshelves, otherwise get another one or go the phantom center router if possible. That would be a cheap, decent enough 2.1 (music)/5.1.2 (HT) setup that does fit in my room.
