Anymore I think this is really the best way to listen to hi end audio. Desktop speakers. Its really hard fitting 7 speakers in a room for movies, and it takes pretty big floor standers for larger rooms IMO. I think nice bookshelves, maybe some mmg's (a strecth) or these mini monitors next to or on your computer desk is the way to go. Keeps the rooms clean and to be honest nearfield can sound really really good. I may pick up some of these mini maggies for a desktop setup and get away from the large audio setup Ive used for years.
