Going from Stereo to...4.0? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys! So for quite a bunch of years, my main home cinema setup has been a Pioneer amp VSX-823K, paired with a couple of Mission MX2 speakers...and a 55inch Sony TV. No subwoofer, no central channel either. Nothing too special, but since the room I watch from is rather small, it does the job pretty well. This is my home cinema/gaming station, and it's all hooked to a gaming PC.

So, I'm considering to add maybe a couple of tiny rear speakers to provide surround sound (ish? 4.0, I guess). Now the problem is, I literally have no space. I have an L-shaped Ikea sofa that takes one corner completely, and leaves not much space at all on the other. I was thinking maybe tiny satellites hanging from a pole that goes straight into the edge of the corner, behind the sofa's corner...So something small anyway, as they'd be rather close to the head/ears of the viewers (me/parner's/friends). I'm not sure what to look for...I'm looking for something small that can deliver decent sound quality without having to be too loud. What would be your advice?

Thanks!

I had a similar room configuration, I placed the surround speakers on the floor against the wall on each side of the sofa, pointing upward. They did the job to surprise me when watching horror movies when there's something making sound behind you.

Great thanks! Any recommendation for small satellite speakers?
