Best CHEAP floorstanders?

Get the Wharfedale Emerald97's or Emerald95's. Wharfedale is a british speaker company adn they are very reputable. Both of these models are biwireable. They have a real wood cabinet and they look great and of course sound awesome. The difference between the two is the 97's have two 6.5 in drivers and the 95's have one 6.5 in driver. You can get the 97's on Amazon.com for $700 and the 95's are $400. These speakers are affordable and have very good quality. I have the 97's for my mains and 95's for my rears and an emerald center channel speaker and my thx system cranks. If I had to do it all over again I would do the same. The perfect tower speaker for the buck.

the emeralds are also have a 95 db rating

Saw Hales Revelation 3 on A'gon a week or so back for 1150/pr.
There's a deal!

PSB Image 4T. $650 retail you can find them for under $500 delivered (federalstereo.com). An overall decent speaker, particularly for HT since it provides reasonable bass output for a speaker its size.
