What small HT speakers to buy?

The Take 5.2 system was at the top of the list for my den ht w/flatscreen until I discovered Ascend Acoustics. I purchased 5 of their HTM-200s for around the same price as the Take 5.2 system sans sub. The HTM-200s are sealed 6"d x 6.5"w x 11"h units with two 4.25" drivers and fabric dome tweeter, and are designed for wall mounting, or close to wall positioning. They only come in black matted vinyl, but are solidly built. With two 4.25" drivers vs a single ~3.5" driver in the Take 5.2 you get more mid range grunt and a more seamless transition to the subwoofer.

Check out Totel Dreamcatcher System.

Sorry, I meant Totem. Retails for $1700 but can find it between $1300 ~ $1400.

I prefered the sony one - it doesn't have an upscale sound, but the effect system on the amp gives a nice reverb that sounds good with the Athenas. This will be a fun sounding setup for under a grand.

i've had a good listen to the def tech mythos system and they were great, perform way beyond there size and look perfect around a plasma. I dont know what they sell for in the US, but i'd definately try and audition some.
