Recommendations for satellite/hanging spkrs


My brother wants to hang small speakers in his living room, which is good-sized with a high, vaulted ceiling. This is a decorating-driven decision, so let's assume we can't talk him out of it, we just want to point in some good directions. I think he would go with either small satellites and a sub or with small bookshelf speakers that would be run full range. Modest electronics. Which products should he check out?

Thanks. --Dan

If he were to use only two Gallo Micros (and a sub) in a "huge" area I doubt that they would fill the room with music (I like these speakers though). The NHT Zero's are better I feel and can sound quite good with a sub, but require a lot of clean power to do so. If Polk still makes their RT15 and RT25 speakers in White they would sound better with midfi electronics and are not difficult to push. They are also easy to audition and obtain from the chain stores such as CC. My second speakers that I use to test gear (stuff I have worked on myself:-) and which are sometimes set up @ the computer are old Polk RT15's (they will fill our 18 x 24 x 8 living room with loud music). The RT25's will play even louder and cleaner (both are on the small side). The newer versions are said to be better.
