Best Small budget speakers for girlfriend

I did a similar thing for my girlfriend who also has a small apartment and bought her a pair of used Spica TC-50s. They often appear on Audiogon or ebay.

Try the PSB Alpha B1 ($300) or NHT Superzero ($400) or Rega R1 ($450). Work well with any number of receivers or integrated amps.

I bought my then girlfriend a pair of Spica TC-50's several years ago. They sound great and she still has them.
If you really want something inexpensive, a pair of Paradigm Atoms should make her very happy:

Try the insignias from best buy. They are $75, I use them in my office, they sound really good.

AV123 has just released a new speaker line, the ELT525, they are $300 pair plus shipping. They come in a gorgeous cherry or rosewood veneer. They can be purchased on line only with a 30 day trial period at www.av123.com.

I am not affiliated with them but am a satisfied customer.
