Steve:

The best possible sound is indeed my goal, but the size of speaker is also a 
consideration.  That's why I always liked those 4-inch square speakers from 
Radio Shack so much.

Don't know why they discontinued them, but it's the same way with the 
HTX202's and 404's.  Why they discontinued such a great product is beyond 
me.
