Speakers for $140 or less


Hi all,

I have a new project. I'm looking to create a home theater based on a pair of speakers available for about $150, preferably even less. Obviously not going for audio nirvana here, just something serviceable with relatively clear dialogue, decent bass. Really should be a floorstander. Is there anything in the used market that might be particularly good, or should I just go the garage sale route? It'll be driven by a mid-90s Rotel receiver, about 60 watts.

Thanks!

At that price, stay local....Craigslist, pawnshop, garage sale...ect. No shipping cost.

I have a pair of Infinity Entra One's that are excellent for the money. They originally sold for ~$400 MSRP, but appear on ebay for <$100 now. Excellent low end for a stand mount, and once broken in they're very good.
The Athena line of speakers sold at Best Buy and AudioAdvisor are quite good for the money. I see that AudioAdvisor has the Athena B1.2 bookshelf speakers on sale for $100 a pair. It would be hard to beat at that price.
I have a pair of Infinity RS-4b's. Original retail over $1100. If you can pick up in NY, I'll cut sweet deal. Had them listed here, no local buyers.
