Speaker advice needed - under £350

[blahblahblah]

In the new year I'll be getting an Onkyo TX-NR609, which leaves £350 for speakers. I know I should be spending a lot more on speakers to pair them with the 609, but the plan is to upgrade components over time. So, in the mean time, I need the best 5.1 setup £350 can buy.

The wife has made it absolutly clear that the satellite speakers must be small. I thought I'd get the BA Soundware XS. Small, under budget and sound great. But dont think it leaves much scope for upgrading (or am i wrong?).

I thought I'd see if there are any more options that you experts can suggest.

Merry Christmas to you all!!!

If you are not prepared to up the size of the speakers then upgrading is going to be very hard and expensive.
If you can go with larger speakers this is a bargain sub/sat system.

If the plan is to upgrade then go second hand. That way you will not lose a lot when you move on and less chance of becoming emotionally attached.
