Can someone give me a speaker recommendation please? (1 Viewer)

Can someone please recommend a set of 5 speakers for me? i will listen to music just as often as watching movies. they need to be small, able to be powered by an Onkyo TX-DS595, and able to fit this room. i will measure the vertical space i have when i visit in the next few weeks so i can purchase a sub to put under the desk/bed/in the closet. i'd like to keep it $400-$500 if possible. anything you can throw out is helpful.
Thanks!

Definitive Technology makes a number of small speaker sets.
They sound great for movies and music too.

Also, take a look at Home Theater Direct speakers. Specifically the Level III set. It may cost a bit more than your $500 limit (by about $50 if you get just the bookshelves and the center channel), but they do a fantastic job. You'd be very pleased with them.

Ive heard that the JBL package is better than the Energy Take 5 package, but Energy has a new one called the Take 5.2 and I think its around that same price range.
P.S. Another San Antonian

Thomas,
Check out this terrific sounding setup consisting of the Atlantic Technology 250.1 timbrally matched (5) speaker satellite system and the M&K V-125 powered subwoofer. The system is in like new condition and is priced at just $650.00. The sub alone lists for $950.00! Here's the link:www.hometheaterforum.com/uub/Forum5/HTML/002141.html
Any questions please feel free!
Regards,
Glenn

I have the Onkyo 595, JBL NSP-1 5-piece set and the Sony SA-WM40 subwoofer. I am very pleased with performance of this system. My room is considerably larger than the room you are planning and this setup is more than sufficient in both quality and volume. A subwoofer is a must with these speakers. The Sony has quite a reputation on this forum, and IMHO, it is well-deserved. I, too, listen to a 50/50 mix of movies and music. The NSP-1/SA-WM40 combination performs well at both. I never cease to be amazed at how well the Sony sub performs for such a modest price. The combo is not the greatest, most accurate system I have heard; after all, it costs only $438.00 (279.00 + 159.00)! For the value-minded consumer, I think this combination is an excellent choice. I would suggest one would have a difficult, if not impossible, time creating a better sounding setup dollar for dollar.
