Basic Budget Bookshelf speakers

BIC America dv-62si bookshelf pair. 
  With a sub added, these little speakers are quite unbeatable. 
  Own a pair from the mid 90’s, still great, sound amazing!

   The cabinets are a little empty, so I filled them with some old scrap carpet padding, much better. As well as the dv-64 tower speakers, filled them with a bunch of wadded together t-shirts. Did help a lot!

The Rega R1 Loudspeaker  A New Budget Reference

“ .... Immediate impressions are a clear and transparent portrayal with very high detail retrieval, fast and controlled transient response, and superb musical timing, both in articulating rhythms and tempi, and in placing instruments within the temporal flow and context of the performance. The RR125 is an outstanding mid/bass driver, sonically and musically right in line with the midrange performance of Rega’s amplifiers and phono cartridges. Get the midrange right and everything else will fall into place. Get it wrong, and all the king’s horses…

The Rega R1 becomes my new budget reference speaker. In addition of its ability to get the fundamentals of music right, it adds clarity and resolution, and an ability to lay out a vivid and coherent 3-dimensional stereo image. In small room applications, what more could you want? - Paul Szabady ....”

Canton makes nice speakers and they have some in a similar price range of those you mentioned at  Accessories4less

The Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus is $699/pr and look and sound great, and they don’t require a lot of power so your Yammy should work fine with them.  Best of luck. 

How about Wharfedale. Model of stand mount dependent on room size, budget. They are relatively easy to drive, can be found within a budget between $200 - $500 (Music Direct a good source), attractive at their price point, and a good match for your amplifier.
