YOUR Favorite Bookshelf/Monitor below $500

These are the speakers I am looking at, and the one I want changes daily;

Usher Audio S-520 - $350.00
Kef iQ3 - $425.00
AV123 X-LS Encore - $349.00
PSB Alpha - $279.00
Paradigm Atom V.5 - $249.00

Which is your favorite? Any others I should consider? They will be used 60/40 Music/Movies. When it comes to Music I listen to a lot of Electronic, R&B, & Jazz. I like a nice bottom end. the kind where you think I can not believe that is coming from that small speaker.

I'll second the SAT-5's, and will add to your list Era Design 4's or 5's (used). A used set of 4's just came up for a bargain price and will not last long. No association with the seller and not necessarily recommending you buy that pair.

Paradigm Titan's Version 4 or older! I have owned mine for a year and am impressed every time I turn my system on.

I'm currently enjoying a pair of Energy C-3's. A tad light in the bottom end but enjoyable nonetheless. Price range is around $300 to $400.

Demo pair for $325, direct they go for $595. May want to ask Rick if these are still available. Not sure you'll find anything in this class that will go very low.
