Need a 5.1 system for my bedroom

[ratm]

Posted over at AVS but can't hurt to get more opinions.

I was originally looking for a soundbar for my bedroom. However, I have come to realize that getting one had more to do with my WAF than actual sound quality. Therefore, I have convinced her, that done properly and with the wires (eventually) hidden, a nice HTIB is better. That being said, here are my parameters...

1. Looking for a simple and inexpensive yet decent sounding set. I already have my kick *** (IMO it is) HT in my living room. This will just be for my wife and I to enjoy a movie/TV in bed from time to time (standard master bedroom, 13x16 with the wall the speakers would be mounted on approx 10 feet from my listening position).

2. I already have a receiver so I dont need one. I also have a sub, but could always move that back to the garage if I get a 5.1 system.

3. Will only be doing a LCR combo and putting the rears that come with whatever I buy in the garage or something.

4. Must be small enough to mount on my wall. Under my TV and to the right and left of it.

5. Must also be less than $300.

I thought this was too cheap to get what I am looking for until i spent most of the day on google and came up with these...

http://www.bostonacoustics.com/CS-23...stem-P375.aspx a little skeptical as to why this is $500 off the regular price. Maybe just to get rid of stock?

FRYS.com*|*YAMAHA Amazon has this for 118 shipped.

not leaning towards any of them, so any help would be appreciated

Infinity Primus P163 - $85/ea shipped. Total - $255
or if you can't use vertical center: 2x 163 and 1x pc251

I considered that but I should have stated that mounting whatever I get is a priority. They will be wall mounted under and to the right and left of my tv. The problem is, it's a concrete exterior wall with drywall and furring strips (I think). That leaves me forced to use simple drywall anchors no more than 1" in length. I'm thinking the polks might weigh too much for what I need to do.

you're going to need to attach them to studs anyhow.. These P163 are way better than any polks in this price point.

The bigger, the better - however, if you stay small - this Infinity would
be my choice over Polk - I would not go lower than a 4" woofer.

Ignore this post

Why can't drill in cement wall? I don't think that any 1" deep in drywall could hold even the lightest speakers

At low price points the Pioneers are pretty good to, but i think they might be bigger than you want to put on your walls.
