Yeah bozack, adding up the list it gets up to 1k pretty quick. I set a budget cap and then just when I think I can squeek it all in I ask myself if I'll be happy with the equipment two years down the road... then I start all over. I have a much easier time of being comfortable with the options if I put it in the $1,500 - $2,000 range. I think I'm deciding to step just a little away from the 'micro' sats like the eggs and orbs and go with Paradigm Cinema 90 CT's or similar... (though reading up on the HSU Vents you mentioned... wow, good reviews).
EDIT - As good as some of the micro sats are, I think I'm solidly into 4.5" driver territory. Whatever that means.
I don't so much like speaker stands either (at least not with limited space, and kids around) but I'm also not excited about cables running up walls and I'm not interested in chopping up our newly finished basement..
you really need 5 1/4" drivers for accurate sound reproduction
bozack - where did you get 5.25" from? There aren't many full-range 5.25" drivers, to my knowledge (I believe it is the full-range application you're talking about).
