I Had Missions before,,,they are excellent..I read reviews for the Athena,,they are ok. To me,,the best for home theatre may be Pinnacle. They are made in NY, and sell direct. I would try not to put Bose in the same list, unless you wanted to use them as foot stools so you can place the otehr speakers in place.
The best recieved from those speakers though are the Mission M71...
Sound Dynamics RT-3 was very well recommended by all audiophile magazines, and they are a bargain.
