I'm sure I'm beating a dead horse buuut....

And I have checked and couldn't find much on recent posts but I was wondering what people recommend for satellite speakers.  I know everyone on here is opposed to Bose but that is the size I desire, I have heard the Boston Acoustics Micro130x's and love them but they are just a bit big for my taste.  I plan on mounting them to the ceiling (not in-ceiling) and would like them to be the size of the Bose cubes, slightly bigger may work also.  I looked at the Boston Acoustics Micro120's and just wasn't too impressed with the sound of them compared to the 130's.  Right now I'm using a set of Polk Audio RM2300's and want to upgrade soon. 

I'd like to keep the cost per pair around $300.

I kind of like the Orb Mod1's or the Anthony Gallo's, anyone hear these? 

Might be kind of interesting to see how you could possible rig up something for these to look like a recessed eyeball light.  Just buy an empty light fixture and somehow mount these in there.

I found an online coupon somehow, I can get them for $65 a piece, not too bad.

I was also looking for a 5.1 Satellite system.  After much listening of many systems I settled on the B&W M-1's and the AS-2 Sub.  I am very happy with the system which I use for  both HDTV and music listening.    The M-1's ( 9.6"H x4.5W x 6.8 D are  a bit larger than Bose cubes but fit nice on a shelf or wall.  The M-1's come with two different mounting brackets one for table or shelf use and another for wall mounting.   Both of the mounting systems are very flexable and allow for many mounting options.  I power them with an Integra DTR 6.8 reciever in a family room that is 14' x 22'.  The family room flows into my kitchen which is also 14' x 22'
