So my parents would really like a new stereo type deal for their living room. Something unobtrusive like 4 small speakers in each corner of the (kind of large: 18x30ish) room. My mom kept asking about Bose, but their setup would be $1500. Even if it had miniature people playing music inside of it, I wouldn't payt $1500. So I started searching around for something a little more sensible, and the only thing I like is:

I know that stereo stuff from diamond/sonicblue won't be as "good" as klipsch etc, but my parents just want to hear music. They don't want to obsess over the minute details of a song.

Does anyone have experience in this area? Any advice?

I should mention I will probably order this thing in the next day or two (ho ho ho). Let me know what the experts think.

Thanks

PS I'm not going to consider two-speaker systems.

I recommend the Klipsch "Quintets"they are small home theatre speakers the same size as the computer ones.I just looked on *bay and a new pair was going off auction @$50 with 1hour and 17 minutes to go.I have had mine about a year and have been very pleased with them,there are brick and mortar dealers selling there and thats who I bought from including my 430 watt Klipsch sub to complement the Quintets.I mounted mine on the walls and they come in black or white.Good luck with your search:)Also you can do a review search @ audioreview.com on whatever you are considering.
