The Top Speaker for less than $500

Looking to get a new pair of speakers. The budget is not amazing but I think there is some good speakers for this prizes.
My top selects are:
AXIOM M3 V3
APERION INtimus 5B
PSB B6 or B5
PARADIGM Mini Monitor or Atom
MONITOR AUDIO BRONZE BX1

Hope you guys can advice me on what to buy and if someone know second hand or good places to get them it will be perfect.

Thanks

Hi Steveaudio,
Thanks for the tip. The Spendor S3/5 SE's sounds like a solid option but can't go over $500 so it will be hard.

Other options that I'm locking now
USED, Rega RS1 VS Epos Epic 2
or
NEW, Monitor Audio BX2 VS the Dali Zensor 1

A ridiculous good buy at $220 from Vanns are the Energy RC10 . Original list is $600. See review in Soundstage .

The Vandersteens mentioned earlier are a great buy if you are looking for floorstand speakers. I bought a used pair in great shape for $375 a couple years ago.
For bookshelf speakers look at Polk Audio Lsi7. You can get a refurbed pair on ebay for less than $400. I bought a pair and could not find any reason to think they weren't new.

I would purchase the Von Schweikert VR-1s currently listed for $500 and wouldn't look back.
