Surround Speaker Recommendations?

[douglasbjordan]

Hi,

I will soon purchase speakers to support 7.1 audio. I need all the speakers to be relatively small (no large left/right front speakers =) because they will most likely be ceiling mounted. I was considering ordering one of the Acoustic Research 5.1 sets then getting two more replacement speakers from the company -- then the company shut down. Anyway, I'm seeking recommendations for a decent surround setup. I've browsed the reviews here, but the setups seem to be either either too expensive ($1000+) or too budget ($400). My limit for this is $700-800, so I'd like to get something slightly better than the budget sets... any recommendations? Thanks in advance for any help.

Doug
