In reply to:
one other system to consider in the $750 range is the package that HSU is offering (http://hsuresearch.com) with the Ventriloquist speakers plus an STF_3 for $795. Again WAF would be lower but you would be getting one heck of a good subwoofer plus comparable sound to the Orbs... and with the big sub I don't think you would complain about the small speakers as much. Even the STF-2 package ($559 or something) would give you enough sub for the future so you wouldn't need to upgrade if you went to bigger & better speakers.
That system is very good for the money.I have one myself and can say that it will suprise most people with what it sounds like.Will it beat a full blown Axiom set up ?.......No it certainly will not but for a budget system it sure is pretty good imo.
