Hello,
I am on a quest again and would like to buy something within a week or so. I partly did my research. I said partly since I couldn't listen any options that I came up with.
Basically, I am looking for a 3.1 or 5.1 system for around $700-$750 (at most; ideally around $450). I sold my Athena Micra 6 (5.1) for $225 and ready to add some dough on top of it to buy something at least as good as Athena's. I'm after best bang for the buck system.
It will be used 85% for movies/15% for music in our 13x11 room which have 2 windows, 1 door and one big opening to dining room. I will put a floor plan later.
Here is my not too short shortlist:
1) Elemental Designs - $670 - http://www.edesignaudio.com/htpackage.php:

A3-5TC Rears
