Scandyna Pod Speakers

[DeadDog]

I saw these speakers is someone's HT gallery and thought they looked really nice. Although I'm not in the market right now for new speakers (need to wait a bit), I really like the idea of having nice looking speakers with some good sound when I finally get to purchasing. I would like to combine them with an Onkyo or equally compatible HD capable receiver eventually.

I know little about speakers and quality, and I know lot's of you here are pretty educated on it all. So my question is how do these speakers compare to other well-known, highly regarded speakers such as Polk Monitor 40's etc?

I know one can't base opinions on specs alone, so if anyone has experience with these then your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

My thoughts would be to use a 5.1 setup with the Minipods as front and rear surrounds with the Cinepod as the center. Or maybe even the Bigpods for the front L/R and the Minipods as the rears.

Like I said I'm not looking to purchase now, but I wonder if this is even worth considering down the road. Thanks in advance for your opinions.
