Recommend me a pair of $250 wall-mount speakers

[Superwormy]

We're putting speakers and a stereo in our small office.

I need recommendations for a $250-ish pair of wall-mount speakers. There's no electrical outlets near where they'll be mounted, so they can't require electrical outlets. They'll be powered by an extra Onkyo TX-8211 receiver and an X-box with XBMC on it. 😛

P.S. They can't be huge either. Smaller than 18"x12"x8" is preferable, or at least somewhere close to that.

i have a pair of the older bowers & wilkins 6 series, the 600S3. they've been discontinued, but check with a dealer near you, they might have some of the old ones lying around that they want to get rid of. great set of bookshelves.

also look into a pair of athenas

Polk RTI-4 or RTI-6 come with a built in wall bracket. The RTi A1 is the newer version.

All of those go for around $200-$250 a pair on ebay. The RTi A1 is on Amazon for around $299 a pair shipped.

active monitors?

KRK RP5 Rokit

100 per speaker. All you need is some rca cable to carry the signal to the monitor.

Crap, never mind, didn't notice the no outlet part.

I googled and came up with this ghettabomination:

Behringer 2030Ps. Not too bad, and dirt cheap.

Alternately, I could sell you that pair of Advents I have kicking around for $40 - they're really designed for this sort of thing.
