2.1 Speaker suggestions

I'm going to be upgrading my speaker system first. It's mainly for HT, and I'll run a phantom center channel. I'm interested to hear about 2 options:

1. A small bookshelf setup where L/R speakers are small enough to be hidden. Think orb audio... Well, anything that size or double would work.

2. Floor standing L/R speakers w/ sub (if needed).

Budget = $1k or less (absolute top end is 1k - nothing over).

The challenge I have is a 10 month old that wants to pull herself up on *everything*... My elcheapo infinity SM82's are off their stands on the floor now. Of course, we need to keep our living room baby proof, and need to take steps to remedy the situaion with a purchase!

Amp, processor, and rear speakers will come later.

thanks!

Excellent advice everyone - I'll start reading up on the recommendations.

BTW, given the choice, would you rather go with satellites and a sub, or a floor standing solution (w/o sub)? Keep in mind that this will mostly be for HT applications (split 80/20). Although, having said that, I'd like something that can give me options down the line (that is, moving into a bigger space, tube gear, etc.).

The Cornwalls seem *exactly* what I'm looking for. Used, it's right around my price point!
