Since the speakers will be placed on an entertainment center (top) and the tower is not an option, I will continue down the monitor path. I have auditioned small speakers that could easily do the trick. The sub can make or break this setup.
The tweeter and mid on many monitors are the exact same component on the towers in many cases.
My goal is not loud, it is excellent quality and a great value. This system will remain a two channel and my next room will get my first home theater setup. I have never been that interested in home theaters, but am in the process of finishing my basement in my new home.
Again, thank you for the advise.
