I am looking at a set of small speakers....

I was looking at the energy take 5's, athena has a set thats similar as well....

any others I should take a look at?

Hi Steve,
Add PSB's Image B25 (or the slightly smaller B15) monitors to your audition list.

(more information)

They're similar to my Image surrounds. For a recent celebration, I wanted to bring in a pair of speakers to play a retirement dvd for a large room. At first I was going to bring in towers, then I had a eureka moment to bring in my PSB Images which I use as surrounds (they're bookshelf style speakers and can be used as mains). I'm happy to report that they performed admirably.

yeah I have psb's in my theater...but I want really small speakers in my rec/room.

the dealer here gave up psb for sinclair audio....doh! do psb still make the little alpha speakers that came in a 5 pack? can't remember the model off hand but they were very small.....

Infinity's teensy SAT-450, $79 apiece. I've heard these at Circuit City & thought they sounded good (btw, all Infinity gear there is closeout merchandise since KEF and Boston Acoustics are being brought in).

I noramlly would link to directly to Infinity's site, but it's been down for more than a day now - maybe they are redoing it since it has been the same for several years (and the Beta and I think Primus lines are also going to be replaced so they need new pages for those anyway).

I will never buy bose, they are overhyped garbage. the infinity looks like something I would go for. I will have a look at them next time I goto the city.
