The ones i'm looking at are the Kef iQ1's and Paradigm atoms, for the fronts and the dayton 120 subwoofer. Are there any other speakers i should be considering?

KEF makes a nice speaker. What's your total budget?

Paradigm also makes nice speakers. Like rnatalli said, we could make better suggestions if we knew your budget.
Why have you picked those two?

Two more questions. What receiver do you have and how large is your room?

I really didn't set a budget but the cheaper the better, if i have to set one then around $200? The room is approximately 22x16 with the tv along the longer wall. The receiver is an onkyo HT-R557, it came from the HT-SP904 HTIB system, has 110 watt output, hdmi connections which i picked up for $100 used (i think i got a good deal).

Value for money?

EMP or RBH.

There is a stellar EMP 5 speaker package on right here at the Audioholics store now, for $200.00. These are clones of RBH (parent to EMP). They even use the old Fibreglass cones from RBH now, whereas they used to use a polygraphie clone.I used to sell the RBH equivalent for $399.99 EACH Canadian and I'm with am installers distributor, not a retailer.

You can buy them individually from the same online store for $190.00 EACH, however for $10 more you get 5. Choose a sub of choice and you are good to go, high performance audio at lower prices than cheapo big box retailers. Don't be folled by cheap price, these are VERY good quality speakers by one of the best (and last) designer/manufacturers and they offer excellent detail and imaging. Also as reviewed here under the RBH TK brand.

No matter where you look, you simply cannot find a better deal right now, $40 each for $200 speakers is insane, the same package was selling for well over a grand in Canada just a few months ago, the RBH models themselves were about $1500.00 for the set!

But they may be gone already, I know 3 people in teh US who ordered a set as soon as I told them aout this deal and they are being phased out by RBH due to the price point.

FREE FREIGHT TOO!!!! I feel like a cheap used car salesman,
"Audioholics is SLASHING PRICES!!!"
