Budget American made speakers?

I'd say the Vandersteen or Maggies would be a great start.  Both have outstanding pedigree's and will be around for years and years.  The Vandy's just get the music right.  

The Mini Philharmonitor.

Wiscoguy,

if if your room is not to large a pair of “audience the ones” have served me well In my office system. They sell for $995.00 through Galen Carol audio, San Antonio, TX.

good luck

Philharmonic speakers also has some very nice offerings in this size and price range.

Why bother if your happy with the jukebox ?
get a pair of Cerwin Vegas with the $6 bullet tweeter, stop reading speaker reviews and switch all the saved $$$ into suds....

but it I think you might find that many if not all the recommended speakers here are from people who both care about the music but yes also what it is played on because it allows them deeper more accurate and yes emotional access to their favorite songs, cycles, tone poems, thrash, shoegazer, whatever...
