I haven't heard all these, but the KEFs, DefTechs and JBL systems are terrific for the $$$. The first two may be beyond your budget; in my opinion, the JBLs with a top-quality sub (Dayton Titanic kit for $350, say) are the best *value* around and will kick sand in Cambridge Soundworks' face.-Klipsch Quintet (comes in white; I used two for surrounds at 4943 Chateau Drive [my previous address-Ed.] and was quite pleased with them for a small space. Mounting brackets are integrated for easy installation and placement)
http://dvd.ign.com/hardware/19.html-Definitive Technologies ProCinema 80 (also comes in white. This is the package my Bay Area friend bought when his wife was convinced that Bose was the answer to her aesthetic requirements. They listened to them side-by-side and both agreed that the DefTechs were FAR superior.)

http://www.audioenz.co.nz/2001/1003.html-JBL NSP-1 (I now use two JBL N24s for my rear speakers. There is an all-weather model that is slightly more expensive and comes in white. Perhaps the best budget deal out there, as the street price is $300-350 for the whole package minus subwoofer. Includes mounting brackets too.)

These are my favorites but I’m partial to the warm, smooth, “British†sound, not to mention their very trick UniQ technology)
