Or you can go with some really nice Sonance speakers. They run the full line from cheap to very, very nice. Prices match quality with them, so if you don't spend much, you won't get much. They are definitely available on eBay for less than retail stores.
They are very specifically an in-wall & distributed audio company first and foremost so you won't see a lot of traditional speakers from them - in-wall is their specialty, and in my experience, most companies are just trying to keep up.
Niles though... they do good keeping up.
