Killer Kitchen System under $800 or so?

Small/Medium sized kitchen, hoping to get something that I can hook up to a Sonos or Airport and stream wirelessly. If you have any advice on a smaller DAC to accompany the speaker, please go ahead!

I'm guessing most suggestions will be along the active monitors like Quad, audioengine, Swan, and Kantos, but any other ideas are very much welcome.

I could mount on stands at a distance as well, but something countertop would be preferred. Thanks for the advice!

Used Creek integrated, Squeezebox Touch, old KEF Q10 speakers. I just helped (advised) a friend put together that exact system for well under $800 and it is amazing.

I am about to buy Audioengine myself for the computer which happens to be in a small kitchen. Just can't decide whether to buy smaller A2 or bigger and better A5. Price difference is really insignificant but I may actually get the smaller ones because I could take them with me wherever I go and use them with computer or ipod. They are also multivoltage.
Never heard them but with 30 days return policy and easy shipping that's not a problem.

I chose mAudio powered monitors for Sonos in my kitchen. IIRC, +/- $400 for the Sonos zp and $200 for the powered mAudios. Just fine for the application. Not gonna make me sell the Ohms, Merlins, Verities, etc., but just fine for the job (and the $).

Good Luck,

Marty
