Have you seen the new Magnepan HT system? $300 a pair for the speakers.
$900 for a 5.0 setup - and high hideability(even comes with a piano hinge
type assembly on it to move it flat against the wall then not in use).

I just ran across the info myself - go to Magnepan's site and click
on "New From Magnepan" on the main page. Then prepare to drool.

High W.A.F. as well. Get a whole HT setup done right for about $2000.
($400 for a sub and ~$700 for a 4 ohm capable receiver)

This, btw, was a direct response to Martin Logan's Planar offerings.
They dropped the price and also made a budget system. Heh.
