small speaker HC recommendations

I'm after a set of home cinema speakers - and so far have only really been
sonically impress with Bose. I don't really want to shell out more than 400
quid. Any recommendations?
They have ideally got to be small - with sound that belies their dimensions.

appreciate any thoughts

As usual you ignore the OP's question and answer a different one that
wasn't asked. He asked for home cinema speakers up to £400 - is it so
beyond you to either:

a. answer the guy within the requirements of his question or

b. just shut the **** up??

Have a nice day - keep wiping the SVS - you know those stains will ruin
it if you don't.

Who says home cinema needs to be 5.1? couple of floorstanders, couple of
cheapo rears and tell your amp you've got no centre or use the TV speaker
until you can get something decent. Alternatively, if we're being serious -
you can get wharfedales 8.1 pack (4x diamond 8.1 and a diamond centre) for
280 quid . Nice sounding speakers but you'll need to spend more to get a
decent sub - 120 quid will get you something but not a lot.

it if you don't.

I didn't mention SVS. Sounds like you want one yourself. I guess you are the
placid BF wimpo who gets beaten up by his 4' 2" girlfriend, and is told to
get rid of his equipment. Sad really.

You know sometimes I think some of you lot are similar to Phil Kyle.

Not as sad as people who assume stuff about folk. As you already know
I've tested the SVS (in person - wouldn't buy sight unseen - one of the
advantages of being able to afford a quick scoot over to NYC) and
decided on a REL Storm.

I also picked up an Athem AVM20 and 7 Outlaw MC200's while I was there
to go with the Polk RTi12/Csi40/RTi38 setup that arrived last week.

Unlike you I *have* a girlfriend and my AV kit is in my living room in
*my* house (not like these folk who still live with mum and dad and have
their sub/bin next to their bed). My g/f is in fact 5'6" so I guess
you've been looking through the wrong windows, not only that she's a
great afficionado of AV gear (her comment on the SVS "Just a big floppy
noise" - it's true!).

You seem to have a thing about men's girlfriends - looks to me like
you're a loser without one and are jealous that some folk get to have
sex and AV gear (as opposed to sex WITH AV gear like you). Tool.

Well none of us have lied about our age or claimed to have put a pc
graphics card into a Mac and made it work. None of us label Mac users
"effeminate" or cry and ask for threads to be closed at AVForums when
someone has proved us wrong. None of us are banned form AVForums because
we're too immature to accpt alternative points of view exist and that a
difference of opinion can often just be left at that. If that makes me
like Phil Kyle then I'm so much happier that it distances me from being
anything like you.

Got one, very good subwoofer but unsuitable for high output, low frequency
handling, and for action films (put on Titan AE and watch the driver
practically destroy itself). Port noise, distortion and driver flapping is
audible (and annoying) if you push it. It can't fill the room at reference
levels (calibrated)

99% of the time it's good enough for other DVD's though.

Good you've bought some stuff- :-) but I thought you were getting out of HT
for a while?

Do you actually know the thread that I was banned for?
