really small speakers less than 500

Can hardly go wrong with any of the above. I've heard Spicas, Paradigm, PSB and NHT. All sound fine.

You want inexpensive? Try the Sound Dynamics RTS-3. Audio Advisor is closing out the rosewood versions of these for something like $190 per pair. I believe that there is a link the the RTS-3 review from The Abso!ute Sound on the Sound Dynamics website. You really can't go wrong with these speakers. Especially for the price.

Awesome value for the money. They sound much better than the Paradigms I had.

Try PSB Alpha Mini's for around $200
