Bookshelf speakers for HDTV

The Acoustic Energy are an excellent idea. They are well built and a bargain. Phil Brady.

Ascend Acoustics 340SE. The lead at Ascend is a former M&K designer/engineer.

I've got a pair of Acoustic Energy Aesprit 301's in an office that are 5 1/2 inches wide, about 5 inches deep and 10 inches tall. They're designed to be surrounds and are not ported, which would be an advantage in your situation. I think the retail price is around $300 but I got them new here on audiogon for around $100, I think. For that small size and at the price they're quite nice.

Check out PSB. They make excellent floorstanding speakers with a narrosw footprint and they are not audiophool expensive.

Paradigm or Dynaudio Audience 52SE. Might want to add a musical sub like Rel to the mix for special effects or if you have a large room.
