I had always been a big fan of British & Canadian large bookshelf or floor standing speaker systems but I needed a compact, attractive,easy-to-place speaker system and the Orb Audios really fit my bill.
I'm running them with a Denon AVR 3808ci 120W/ch. and for movies I utilize the built-in Audyssey MultiEQ for video and run the system flat for most well recorded music.
haven't heard anything for less than twice the price that outperforms this system.
With a wide range of finishes & mounting options, this system will fill all but the largest rooms with clean well balanced surround sound and (when used on stero direct for music) they image almmost as well as my old KEF 104abs.
For smaller rooms, you can drop to Mod1s (single sphere) for the fronts & center and for larger systems you can go Mod1 or Mod2 - 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1.
Here's a link to other reviews of these speakers (of course, Orb's cheryy-picking the best here):
