Bookshelf speakers on a budget

>>  Elac Uni-Fi UB5. Nothing comes close for the money.

I just purchased a 'blemished' pair of these from Amazon for $399 and they are amazing sounding for the price.   I have them beside my TV up against back and side walls so I can't comment on sound stage or bass quality, but their accuracy and resolution for the money is killer.   My big-rig speakers are Magico S1s and I'm amazed how much I enjoy listening to my favorite music through the Elacs :)

I see from another thread you have settled on the Dali Zensor 1s. Have you purchased them yet? If so have you tried them with the Jolida amp?

ML Lx 16 really nice same as the motion 15. Great sound for the money
