Budget Speaker Recommendation?


Looking for a budget bookshelf model, new or used. Price range is around $300-400. Listen to mostly rock and roll, some jazz and classical. Room is a pretty open family room (15x20) with high ceilings and that blends right into the kitchen. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

It's been 3+ years. Do you two really think he hasn't purchased speakers yet?

I didn't notice that. Why do people keep reviving old posts. Waste of damn time!

Not a waste of time. What if someone tomorrow wants to look for some inexpensive but good sounding speakers. Then they don't have to search through years of posts.
Reviving posts to me isn't a waste of time. To me it is showing someone is checking the archives for info rather than just opening a new thread asking the same thing over and over. Also too with older threads being updates it helps us who you the internet to research speakers and gear. We can get an idea as to what has been recommended through the years in one thread rather than going through thread after thread.

To the OPs question I would say a used pair of KEF Q300s would fit the bill. I have them being powered by a Jolida JD-502P amp and they can really fill up a room.
