If and when I ever have to move to a smaller apartment, I would relish the chance to experiment with multiple small computer speakers suspended from the ceiling. I would be able to aim them any which way I want, reflect some sound from front and side walls, establish a center channel with wide dispersion, and have multiple surround speakers anywhere I want. The number of these speakers would make up for any lack of power put out by each one, and a subwoofer would take care of bass duties. All this while remaining relatively invisible and needing no Wife Acceptance Factor. Gary Eickmeier
