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!

Hsu Research has a new monitor the HB-1 that sells for $129 per unit - I demoed it at HES and was blown away by it - for the price. Not a floorstander. Horn tweeter.

Crutchfield has the new Primus 152 for $99 I think.

Certainly these are not floorstanders.... what are the Paradigm Atoms (or even used Titans) going for now? I always thought those were exceptional speakers in that general range.

Atoms are $249.
I just checked and those Primus 152 were $99 each.

If your or anyone else for that matter live around Huntsville,AL. I have a pair of EPI 2 ways w/8 in. woofer from early 70's. They have good tonal balance equal to about the Infinity Q series of the late 80's and heavy. $25 and they are yours. I bought them from a secondhand store. Replacement parts also available for these, not that they need parts.
