You would have achieved much better sound using a conventional speaker array regardless of your glass and open wall issues. I cannot imagine using speakers in the ceiling for anything except the surround channels. You would be compounding your folly by running the signal into the likely mediocre speakers in the TV.

You know, not to be rude, but that was not helpful whatsoever. This is a secondary media room, its primary use is as a family room, visible standing speakers are not, for wife's purposes, aesthetically acceptable here and there are no possible locations for in-wall's except the rear. All of which is beside the point.
Sometimes its best to answer a question and if you don't know, don't comment without further information. Thank you. Rick

  Unfortunately Lasermeister he is right.
  You are hpoelessly lost in trying to band-aid your current situation. Nothing you can do will improve your situation, save what Lasermeister recommended. Using TV speakers is the worst possible band-aid.
  Sorry, but that's just how it is.

    That may be and I really wasn't disagreeing with Las. as for what was said. But I really don't have a choice here and the sound is quite good. My notion was simply to augment the center channel with the speakers from the tv (which include a limited subwoofer)in order to provide better localization of speech.
    The AIMs, btw, don't fire directly down, rather the whole array (tweeter and woofer) pivots in the unit, allowing me to position the array and direct the sound. So, given the restrictions on the space, it was a best solution to the given situation.
    I'm still wondering whether splitting the signal in so many ways will create (further) problems and whether there is a piece of tech that might mitigate those particular issues.
    Thanks again. rg

      If you already have the answers, then why ask somebody else?
      Based on your description of what has already been done, the room is a mess - a band-aid won't make it all better. The Sony TV's speaker quality is most definitely NOT "quite good".
