I have a very small room with a 50" Plasma and Yamaha receiver. I was thinking about the owm5's as they offer a small profile and would fit the room. I have no shelve or floor space for stand alone speakers. Any thoughts?? How about the owm3's as my budget is currently tight. Either way, these will be the only and primary speakers. Will they handle normal TV and Movie sound for everyday listening?? Thanks

    I have a pair of OWM5's and I'm really surprised at how good they sound.
    Currently they're on the vertical stands, as I've been too busy to mount them.

    Make sure you understand how large they are - the pictures are a bit deceiving. I bought them without reading the dimensions and couldn't use them where I originally intended. They're not huge, just bigger than I expected.

    I heard the 3's once at ABC Warehouse and thought they were alright, but I would pick the 5's between these two for mains.

    Watch the Polk ebay site. You'll save some $$$; maybe enough to pick up a sub too, for what you'd pay retail for a set of 5's.

    Good luck!
