used S300 mkii might be found used in your range.never heard them but it seems they are enjoyed by a lot of people.the 400's seem to be hitting well with reviewers but are higher up the price ladder.
Best bookshelf speakers
Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a pair of good bookshelf speakers and since a lot of you here seems to know about speakers much more then me, I figured I'd ask for advice.
Here are the parameters I'm working with / looking for:
- The room is about 1200 cu/ft
- Looking for great performance at low volume
- Rich timbre
- Rich, warm bass
- Natural highs (not metallic-sounding)
- Low frequency range in around 40Hz (preferably 30Hz, but I know, there are hardly any in this range at my price point)
- $500 - $700, new or used
So far I am considering the following options (in no particular order):
- KEF Q350
- Dali Zensor 3
- Canton Chrono 503.2
- Wharfedale Diamond 225
So my questions are:
1) From my list of 4, which would be your choice?
2) What other bookshelf speaker would you add to the list that fir my parameters?
Any thoughts are appreciated

Your criteria is pretty exacting for a $500-$700 pair of speakers, but the speakers that come closest in my experience are either of the stand-mounted speakers from the GoldenEar Aon series, either the Aon 2 or Aon 3. Features include:
