Well, I haven't actually heard anything at that price, but if you can go for traditional speakers, I'd recommend it - you'll get better sound for your money compared to "style" packages.
The WHF award winner at that price is the Q Acoustics 1010i 5.1 package - I'd try and find a good dealer who's selling them and ask his opinion on whether they would work and also have a listen yourself. I can't see any reason why not though.
