Athena S.5 anything better in that SIZE range?

[Type]

I really like the sound of the Athena S.5 (Point 5 satellite). Hate the look of it. Looks like a boom box speaker. Is there anything out there in that size or under that sounds better in your opinion?

The Rocket Tykes from av123.com have gotten very favorable reviews. They are really small and unlike the Athena set come with a 100 watt subwoofer. I can't vouch personally for how well they sound because I never took them out of the box.

The 5.1 set sells for $399 on av123.com. Check the specs and reviews on that site and if you are interested I could sell mine for alot less [new in the box, never used, never been out of the box. ]

I got a pretty good deal on the Point 5 ($180.00). It was supposed to be all black but they ended up shipping me the black and silver.

I wouldn't want to go with anything that has woofers smaller than 4". And I'll tell you.....the Athena tweeters are just right.
