I have a 20" Cinema Display that I am going to be using with a Mini. I would like to get speakers that look GREAT sitting next to the ACD and are small. I have seen some speakers that are almost the height of the display and I don't like that look. Of course they should also sound great.

Here is my wish list for the perfect speaker:

1-Match the ACD in style and color
2-Sound awesome
3-5.1 (but 2.1 will work if they meet the other criteria and if 5.1 is not possible)
4-Cost is a minor issue, would like to keep them at less than $250 if 5.1 and less than $150 if 2.1
5-Would like a control pod that sits on the desktop.

Thanks!

So far I have found 2 candidates:

1. ALtec Lansing FX6021: the only issue is they are really tall and seemingly impossible to find.
2. Logitech Z4i: not positive they will match the ACD perfectly, otherwise seem ideal.

Note both are 2.1 systems, I would love to find a suitable 5.1 if possible.
 
Here's a picture of the Logitech speakers with an ACD looking like a work of art :) They've got the independent volume/IO pod as well:
