Quality Plasma-match Minimalistic Speakers

[American_rob]

Ok not sure how to describe this category of speakers but I was wondering whats plasma-matching minimilistic speakers (the long thin type that run below and on either side of the plasma screen) are out there that will provide a high quality audio environment for movies and music

- Maybe 75% video and 25% audio.
- Reasonable budget (less than $1500 maybe $2000 for a 7.1 set).
- Connect to a new Yamaha RX-V1500.
- Ok to use a 10" or 12" sub
- Room is 19' x 19' with 10' ceilings
- Dont need to kill the neighbors or the newborn with the volume level.

I noticed the KEF KHT5005 and 9000ACE but suspect both are too expensive.

I know these will not provide the same depth and volume as the Axiom, Aperion, or Mordaunt systems I am also considering but need a wife friendly option that looks good next to the new plasma TV. I am posting a seperate question about the RBH, KEF, and HSU Research mini-satellite options as well as the Axiom, Aperion, or Mordaunt systems.

Thanks for any help.

The new Take series could work

Or you could try one of these interesting devices

You might try looking at the Canton CD series or Definitive Technologies Mythos series. Both are tall slender aluminum tube spacey looking thingies.
