Speakers for a TV in the corner

Right, so I'm in need of some suggestions here. I moved into a new house and because of the fireplace, nice feature wall and general layout, i've mounted the the TV in the corner.

I have a problem, I have no idea where to put the 2 front L/R speakers (Wharfedale 9.1).

I'll get a better, more recent picture, but here's one from earlier.

Any ideas? As you can see, the centre is fine.

Cheers guys, Yep, not an ideal situation I grant you.

Lucid, that was my first idea, however, there's not enough room to do it as the speakers are far to deep. I will try again, see if I can re-jig it.

Nope no good.

I think I'm going to go and get a long shelf to sit on top of the unit at the same angle as the TV, long enough to overhang. Then I can layout the speakers in a soundbar-like position. They will be stuck out in front of the TV by a few inches though.

I'd put the TV above the fireplace on the wall with a slight tilt down. It's not ideal but will male setting up the speakers simple. This is ofc assuming your couch is opposite.

Definitely not something that i would do, for the following reasons:

1. The TV would get hot from the fire.
2. TV will be too high
3. Would have the wreck up the place to chase cables
3. Feature wall would be wasted and have a load of holes in it.
4. We have a corner sofa, ideal for the current placement of the TV
