Recommendations for satellite/hanging spkrs


My brother wants to hang small speakers in his living room, which is good-sized with a high, vaulted ceiling. This is a decorating-driven decision, so let's assume we can't talk him out of it, we just want to point in some good directions. I think he would go with either small satellites and a sub or with small bookshelf speakers that would be run full range. Modest electronics. Which products should he check out?

Thanks. --Dan

I faced the same conundrum with a secondary system in the den. I went with NHT Superzeros (white finish) along with a NHT sub woofer. The small size and white finish makes them very unobtrusive against a white wall or ceiling. The sound was surprisingly good. Even with mid fi receiver.
My wife and I gave my in-laws a Klipsch Quintet 5.1 set-up for Christmas and they are very pleased with it. I think that we gave $800 for the set. The small speakers for front L&R and rear L&R are on little pivoting stands that are tightened with an allen wrench. They're not bad speakers, just not good enough for me. If you want to see the HT package I bought for my wife, go to www.romanaudio.com . I also have a pair of their 8", two-way, floor-standing speakers, the Centurions. SWEET!!!!! Anyway, hope this helps.
Meadowlark just introduced a new bi-polar wall hanging speaker that is amazing and very affordable. With their new cabinet making capabilities at the new factory, no decorator would reject these.
