So I am just putting the finishing touches on my basement development, and am looking to replace my home theatre speakers. I know there are a few threads on here about this topic already, but I have a special requirement. I have a 20 month old boy that we have nicknamed "mayhem" because, well, it should be self explanitory. I currently have floor speakers that are either going to be demolished or end up smashing my son in the face, so I really need something small enough that can be mounted close to the ceiling.

Let me start out by saying that I currently have a Harmon/Kardon AVR 340 receiver that is working perfectly. No HDMI, but I can deal with it. The obvious choice for the speakers was a Bose system. I really like the looks of the Accoustimass 10 package, but have read a lot of negative stuff about them. I have also read up on the H/K HKTS15 package and it seems to get better reviews at least.

Basically, I am looking for some opinions on which small home theatre speakers I should get for a 17 x 23 foot room. Budget is around $1000.
