Best budget bookshelf speakers for 3-600 dollars.


Hello all now that I've made a decision to stray away from active monitors (genelec 1029a) I need to decide upon what I can best get for my money. As a reference I would like to tell you what kind of headphones I own so you can have a taste of what I like. I own Senhessier 580 aswell as etymotic 4s and 6I and some shure 3.

I mostly listen to classical (brass music, big ochestra) and jazz (clark terry, lester young etc). I do have my ocassional moments when I go rock crazy for awhile. I know there all different mediums are there any speakers that can handle all pretty well for the price range 3-600 dollars used or new (lower better more around 4-500 just willing to plunk a little more if need be).

Feel free to give me any models. I live in NYC so am sure I can find someplace. Speaking of NYC where are the good places. The only place I've been to is soundexchange and I don't much like the sales people there.

Thanks again like always.

alright in that case what would be some good floorstander suggestions that are small and sound good?
A new set of Tannoy Fusion 1 or 2 would be a great speaker to consider. Plateau makes a really nice stand 28" stand for around $100. (Silver single column post w/black base and top plate. Model escapes me, but a really nice stand for the $.) The Tannoy MX1-M is a really great spk. as well. These proceeded the "Fusion" line. Another posible spk. to consider is the Monitor Audio "Bronze" 1/2. I personally haven't heard them but they can be bought new for about the price of the Tannoy's. If used doesn't bother you, check out ADS L400's. I have a set of L500's which sound extremely good.
I forgot to mention that these speakers are to be used in my bedroom not living room. The source will be my computer. My dimensions are 18X12X10'tall.
If you can find a pair of Acoustic Energy Aepsprit 300's, they will be the best your money can buy. No sacirifice in bass output whatsoever, very uncommon in a bookshelf monitor.
