Hi,
I posted the same topic at avs a few days back, but did not get much feedback. I need to some very compact surround speakers for my living room. This is a fairly large space (5600 cubic feet), so I am not expecting miracles out of tiny speakers. They need to be less than 4.75x4.75x8 (WxDxH), and will be the surrounds for a 5.1 system. I have no wiggle room on this size. They will be placed about 5 feet off the ground on a shelf on each side of the listening area. The right side will be about 4 feet further away from the listening area than the left. I don't have my complete system yet, but I have an onkyo nr809 on the way, will have ARX A5s as fronts, and an ARX A3 as a center. Still up in the air on the sub but I am leaning towards an 18.2.
These are the speakers I have come up with, but I don't know which would be the best:
Nanosat regular or prestige (the Prestige version specs say there are 2dbs more sensitive,but the description does not indicate what the difference is, so i have emailed them for the answer).

I am leaning towards the omnisats, but i don't really know if there are better options out there, or if maybe one of the other options listed above are a better choice.
I was looking at the DefTec promonitor800s, but I just don't think i could make them fit. At minimum the right one would
not be pointed directly at the entire listening area so these would probably not work even though they would be better than the options above I think.
