Check out the Acoustic Energy sub/sat system for $399, very small but very big, clear sound. Michael Fremer reviewed them in the March 2001 issue of Stereophile. Jeff at Value Audio (www.value-audio.com) sells them and gives a good rundown of their features if you call him. I am thinking of these for a small TV setup in a guest room. Apparently, you can plug a CD player or other source directly into the powered sub and have a complete system going.
