Thanks for the responses everyone! So, it looks like it's a matter of what speakers look the best to me and can be found the cheapest.
Any other suggestions, keep em coming!

Very inexpensive speakers for a 2nd system
I'm looking at building a secondary system in an upstairs sitting room. This would be for casual listening, entertaining, and music during dinner. I'm reasonably certain this will be built around a Jolida 1301a hybrid integrated amplifier (30wpc). Jolida recommended an 89dB minimum sensitivity for this system.
I can consider slim floor standers or bookshelf speakers. No subs per the WAF. We aren't looking to shake the room, but some reasonable bass would be nice. Looking to spend less than $400 (used or new).
I've been looking at:
Monitor Audio BR2, B4, or BR5
Epos ELS-3
PSB Alpha
Something from Paradigm
Any suggestions here?

I would get some Klipsh Heresy II in a flash! Their super high efficiency gets the most out of tube amps and they'll sing like crazy. If they fail the WAF test, then the more-conventional Mission M32i would be up next. It's an incredible little speaker. I have yet to hear it but the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 mentioned above also got a Hifi+ Product of the Year award last month! Seems like it's winning lots of big hearts... Arthur |
How about $100 for a pair of excellent speakers? Is that cheap enough for ya? They are DIY, but appear to be very simple - The Zimahornets - check out this great review: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/zigmahornet/zigmahornet.html Dave Merrill says no more DCA4 drivers available, but does have DCA5.5M drivers with phase plugs. |
