Budget Speaker Recommendation?

I didn't notice that. Why do people keep reviving old posts. Waste of damn time!

Not a waste of time. What if someone tomorrow wants to look for some inexpensive but good sounding speakers. Then they don't have to search through years of posts.

More info the better, thse posts are constanly read.

Reviving posts to me isn't a waste of time. To me it is showing someone is checking the archives for info rather than just opening a new thread asking the same thing over and over. Also too with older threads being updates it helps us who you the internet to research speakers and gear. We can get an idea as to what has been recommended through the years in one thread rather than going through thread after thread.

To the OPs question I would say a used pair of KEF Q300s would fit the bill. I have them being powered by a Jolida JD-502P amp and they can really fill up a room.

Keep checking out GoodWill stores and Thrift stores, if you have the patience. Scored a pair of old Wharfedale W90-D's for 50 bucks. Look very nice and sound so sweet and warm. Just got a pair of ADS L570's yesterday for 9 dollars....YES, 9 DOLLARS. Nothing wrong with them other than a good cleaning. They look almost new now and for a small speaker, these things can go deep.....I am very impressed. Also ran across a pair of Snell Type Civ's and got them for 100 dollars. Those are in my main system. Amazing speakers. You can keep the new stuff. I'll spend my money on turntables and cd players, and then use a good Emotive amp and pre, and sit back and drool.
