What small HT speakers to buy?


Currently own PSB Image outfit for my home theater system. But I am reconfiguring my video and will be going with plasma in a week or two, will like “matching” speakers that can be mounted on the wall to save space and be more kids friendly.

I am a 2-ch guy with $50k+ invested in my system, so most of the small “satellite” speakers with sub just do not cut it even in home theater application. I don’t expect any small speakers to rival the PSB Image, but they should at least not have a big suck out in lower midrange where most of the music and dialogs are happening. I don’t want to spend over $1000 (with sub) since I rather spend the money on my 2-ch system, but I do want them to be able to play loud to fill a 13x19 room.

Suggestions are appreciated, as I really don’t know much about HT speakers in the mass market.

Thanks,

David

Sorry, I meant Totem. Retails for $1700 but can find it between $1300 ~ $1400.

I prefered the sony one - it doesn't have an upscale sound, but the effect system on the amp gives a nice reverb that sounds good with the Athenas. This will be a fun sounding setup for under a grand.
i've had a good listen to the def tech mythos system and they were great, perform way beyond there size and look perfect around a plasma. I dont know what they sell for in the US, but i'd definately try and audition some.
Check these out - cambridge sounds.

If you need a DVD and amp as well :

You probably heard them - they sound as good or better than Bose for a lot less. Stereo magazine used to say the best speaker value in America.

They are small so they don't throw comfortably cushiony large soundstage, but has a pleasant metallic sound similar to Planar speakers - somthing like Bose cubes.
PSB's Image is a nice speaker ...try listening to Paradigm's Cinema 90 mated to their CC with 70s or ADPs in the rear before making a decision ...unbelievable sound given their size and price.

Cheers!
