Speakers Bought Brand New For The Cost Of A Good Night Out, That "Kick Ass".


Around 3 1/2 year ago bought a Pr. of the "Andrew Jones" Pioneer SP- FS52's at a Clearance Centre in Australia for $222 for my Kitchen System. Great value as they now retail at $699 over here. Good for a small area but don't go real loud.

Just recently purchased a Pr. of Pure Accoustics Super Nova 5's for $99! These little beauty's absolutely "kick ass" for the money. Much bigger sounding than the Pioneers, with a more thumping bass response, although not quite as refined. Very happy with these for such little money. Will use these or the Pioneers in a Patio set up, and the other in the kitchen set-up, which will eventually be System #7. I am using Electronics well above what would normally be used which helps.

Anyone else picked up a "brand new" set of bargain Speakers and been blown away?

Well now completely depends on who you are, doesn't it?  If I'm Alex Ovechkin I could snag new JA Perspectives or Vandy Quatro CTs. 

Expensive and overrated  compared to the original Insignia 2-Way bookshelf speakers from Best Buy years ago for $50/pr. ;) 
JBL LSR 305 
$ 225 for the pair
With the foam pads, 4 XLR cables 
and the big volume knobbie
included
Best placed close to your noggin
but I move them everywhere 
speakers this cheap should not sound so good 
Guitar Center often has some nice deals on traded-in studio monitors if you go to the local store (they don't seem to always show up on the online search).  
Elac B6s - for dinner and a decent hotel with hot water, I got a beautiful pair of budget monitors!
