Well, after about 15 minutes of listening - the athena b-1s are pretty good. Kind of like a lesser M22 - not as smooth or as nice or as much bass, but quality and that high end detail / forwardness.

I just wanted a cheap but decent pair of speakers for the bedroom and these were about $100 for two.

M22s, QS4s, M2 center, Hsu stf-1.
