suggestions for a small speaker setup

Happy Saturday, just want some opinions on a 5.1-7.1 speaker set up that will perform, well, not like tiny speakers.I am putting a system together for a friend and have already purchased a Pioneer vsx 1015 receiver. It is going in a room that is approximately 12x15. She want's to spend around $1000 for the entire speaker set-up give or take a little. probably 60/40 movies/music. I am thinking of the HSU ventriliquist package.What are some of your suggestions? thanks in advance.

I was going to recommend the Hsus from what I have read I don't think you can go wrong. Ventriloquist Review

I have been pretty happy with the Orbs ( Orb Audio ). Running it with a 950/7100 in a 5.1 setup (the sub is also from Orb Audio). Talk to the people there - customer service is in the same league as Outlaw...very knowledgeable and prompt.
