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.

If you can find them used, Soliloquy Sat-5's. Sealed cabinet so they work great in tight spaces. Same sound as the entire Soliloquy line, just less bass. Amazing sound with any sub.

You might want to add the Energy RC-10 to the list. Also NHT has some good offering at and around the $500 price point.

Era Design 4. I think they might be slightly over budget but used, well within budget.

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.
