help with speaker selection!


I am setting up a second system in a bedroom, and due to space and toddler considerations I would like to mount the speakers on the wall. I will be using this setup mostly for movies, but also some music (say 80/20). I will be using a two channel integrated amp (Rotel 50w/ch)and will probably add a dvd player in the near future. Here's the deal, I have no interest in surround sound,dts,5.1 etc.. nor do I want to use a subwoofer, and to make matters more difficult, I would like to keep the two speakers as small as possible. So, does anyone know of compact speakers that can be wall mounted, will sound decent with soundtracks and music and will not break the bank (200-500 used). I know I will be sacrificing(sp?) decent bass, but again I'm not looking to accurately reproduce explosions and gunfire. I heard that the psb alphas can be placed against a wall, so I am considering them. I also have an old pair of Radio Shack minimus 7's which I remember sounding very good for their very modest price. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW this site is awsome!!! Thanks, Chris

I've heard several very nice small linn speakers. The index, tukan, and helix. Mordant-short also makes a good sounding micro speaker. British speakers usually do very well with close wall placement.
