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!

I have some and am replacing them as I renovate. The problem with them is that if you stand under one speaker, you really get too much localized sound from that channel only. The only way to effectively do in-ceiling is either with dual voice coil single speakers or go mono. I just replaced really good niles speakers with a single Martin Logan dual voice coil to eliminate this problem.
The other room with ceiling speakers already is renovated. I intend to get another martin logan and use the other hole for a subwoofer(it's the top floor of my house and the attic should make for one heck of a baffle).
