5.1 small speaker recommendations

I am putting together a simple 5.1 system with a 64" plasma and denon receiver for bluray and HDTV use. I am looking at gallo for speakers but would appreciate input. I have a dedicated high end 2 channel system so I don't care about music for this application. I don't want 7.1 as well. Speakers MUST be small as per my example and I don't want built in or on wall as my cabinet won't allow either. Thanks.

I did an in ceiling 5.1 installation using Gallo's, a small Velodyne sub, and a very inexpensive Panasonic switching receiver. I found the results very impressive considering the budget. I can only guess by placing those drivers at ear level would be a much greater improvement.

You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss 7.1. The matrixed surround effect is worth the effort down the road.
