Triad makes some of the best home theater speakers on the planet. The Starlets are quite nice, as I have owned the 4's, 6's, and 9's, but not great at theater.
They do excel in 2 channel listening, and they do well for home theater, they just are more a 50/50 HT/Music speaker. The Triad are a 85/15 HT/Music speaker and are EASY loads to drive, are extremely dynamic, easier to install, and less expensive. Pair any of these with a Velodyne sub (or Sunfire) and you are set!!
The only other direction I would consider is B&W. Several choices, too many really, but competitive pricing and performance.
