I heartily endorse Onhwy61's recommendation. I've only heard the Revolutions at shows (CES several times), but in every instance, the Gradient sounded terrific in small rooms and backed up to the wall. It is specifically designed to accomodate difficult placement and is very flexible in the way it can be configured. A good looking, good sounding, and easy to place speaker. Downside? It is not terribly efficient, but then again, if it is placed in smaller rooms, a lot of power will not be needed.
