Check out PSB. They make excellent floorstanding speakers with a narrosw footprint and they are not audiophool expensive.
Bookshelf speakers for HDTV
I need 2 narrow (about 6" wide) speakers to sit beside a 50" Sony SXRD. The Sony speakers do not cut it for my age impaired ears. The music considerations are minor, mostly I'm interested in dialogue clarity. Bass is also secondary. Any helpful hints, especially in the lower priced models?
