I am looking to upgrade my current kitchen speakers and I am trying to keep the price below 400 if I can. I am most likely going to power them with a Creek 4140s2 integrated amp.

I'd love to hear from anybody who has some ideas or good reviews on a pair they have. I am hoping to keep the size as small as possible. I auditioned a pair of Audioengine 5 speakers and was thouroughly disappointed. I'm looking to improve on a pair of Boston Acoustics HD5s. They actually sound ok, but the faux wood is just not cutting it with the wife.

Right now, I am looking at a pair of Axiom M2 v3.
