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
