    Hello IRG

    Reading through this thread and adding my 2 cents...

    Yes, A4less is a reputable online retailer. I purchased my Mordaunt Short 902i speakers from them at $225./pr. Too bad they have sold out of them already.

    One of our other community posters, Poppchubby, found the MS 902'i still selling new for $225.00/pr at http://www.needledoctor.com/. I am a huge advocate of this particular brand/model and highly suggest you consider the additional $25.00 over your speaker budget as well worth it. You may not want to upgrade your speakers again if you get this model....

    Other speaker options depending on personal preference and budget.....

    http://www.audioadvisor.com/products.asp?dept=49
    There are a couple of options for your price point here.

    I recently heard the Cambridge Audio S30 and I can highly recommend these speakers as well. I did not like the CA S70's or the CA electronics I heard but the S30's are quite exceptional and I think they are $220/pr. Also well worth it.

    http://www.crutchfield.com/
    Lots of speaker pair options at or about $200/pr.

    Good luck with your research and your selections.

    How about this: http://www.spearitsound.com/nad/C715.asp

    I like Paradigm but the Atoms don't play very low, I think only down to 100 Hz. The C715 does have a sub out for a future addition of subwoofer though.

    Thanks LeRoy, those Mordaunt Shorts look really nice, good price too, I've booked marked them for sure. I was checking out the CA 30's you mentioned, is that price per pair or single speaker? I wasn't sure, but at $220/pair, I would consider them too. Are the Polk Rti4 or TSi100's from Cruchfield pretty good speakers? Prices on both of these are good too.

    Your local CL is a good source and so are local thrift stores. This can be a bit of a challenge if you live in a small community but the Syracuse-Ithaca area should afford some opportunities.
    I'm glad I'm not the only cheap b@astard I'll be checking out CL some more too. I was thinking of more vintage equipment, but not sure I trust the reliability of stuff that is 20-30+ years old, even if it was built better back then. But I do like some of it for sure, I just haven't had time to really research what is good and what should be avoided. Something to do soon.

    Yeah I think I want/need monitors that can go lower, without a sub. Maybe a sub someday, but not anytime soon. That NAD is interesting, although I think I can get a separate receiver/dvd/cd player for less, and give me a little more flexibility.

    You're welcom IRG.

    The CA 30's is priced per pair at A.A.

    I used to own a pair of Polk Rti4's for a very short while....literally 2 weeks. I took them back to Tweeters for a full refund. Count me in as one of those who don't care for Polk speakers at all. I have never heard of TSI speakers so don't know anything about them

    By the way, the CA 30's speaker are made by Mordaunt-Short for C.A. They don't sound the same though. The M.S. 902's are very dynamic, punchy, fun, lively, and musical. The 902's punked my Usher S-520's in a no contest kind of way.

    The CA30's are more of a neutral sounding speaker...refined and composed even at higher volumes, punchy deep bass but bass does not extend as much as the 902's and the highs are extended as the 902's but not quite as energetic. CA 30's are a tad smaller than the 902's and are cute in a toy looking kind of way.

    I used both speakers through my system and each can play up to that level of quality...no problem. Belles Soloist Amp/Belles Soloist Pre-Amp (Retail $2K), Musical Fidelity XRAY CDP and power supply (Retail $1.5K-2.5K), Chord Carnival Silver Screen Speaker wire 4-conductor ($185.00), Chord Cobra Interconnect ($115.00). Both speakers are quite at home with this set up.

    Both are EXCELLENT buys and sound quite remarkable for so little money. Beware that both will expose your electronics too. If you pair them with poor sounding electronics both will let you know it. Even so, if you upgrade your electronics at a later date you won't have to upgrade your speakers if you have one of these pairs.

    OK, either of these two speakers sound like winners, leaning towards the MS model. So is pairing them with a Yamaha amp/dvd a 'poor sounding' electronics, or will they be acceptable? Would the Onkyo or Marantz (don't know much about this model) be a better choice, and if so why?

    Something to consider, if you put any stock in reviews...Stereophile said "its bass performance turned out to be one of the Atom's greatest strengths."

    Thats pure BS, I auditioned them at a local store that sells Paradigm and NHT. Even the salesman steered me away from the Atoms because of their lack of bass. The NHT Classic 2's blew them out of the water. The Atoms sounded weak and anemic. They need a sub.

    Reliability can be a concern when talking about receivers and amps but a good testing of them before you buy can resolve that issue. Speakers on the other hand are a different issue as there is less to go wrong there. A look at the drivers with the grills off and a quick listen will usually tell you all you need to know there. All of my current speakers in the house came via CL or Thrift stores. A list includes the following that are used for my various 2 channel set-ups. All except the Polk's and the KLH-5's which were obtained through gear swaps ran me on average a little less than $25 a pair and were ready to plug and play.

    Original Large Advents
    Dynaco-A25
    EPI-100's
    KLH-5
    KLH-17's
    Polk Monitor 10's

    I totally agree, if I can try something out first, I wouldn't mind buying used, especially from the local shop that caters to this. Speakers in general, are less of a gamble. I was thinking ebay too, where the shipping and all can be hard on things like cd players/turntables.

    Does it make any sense at all in trying to put new 6" speakers in the JBLs I have, or will that totally muck up the sound? It would be more of a stop gap, buy a new TT/CD player, get an amp, fix the speakers, then begin upgrading one thing or another when funds suffice.

    But I like the idea of getting all new stuff better.

    The Keed is absolutely right. All the speakers in my house come from CL or the Bay. We've both some classic stuff. Every speaker currently in use in all three home systems are used or orphan. If you don't get swept up in bidding frenzy or other stupid mania you can score great speakers on the cheap, all over.

    Well I did a thorough scan of 3 close by CL listings, frankly didn't see one item I was interested in - I think part of it is this is not a very affluent region, you're not as likely to see nice used gear for sale, because people by and large don't buy it new, they'll shop the Walmart specials or invest in their ipods or computers, but I'll keep looking. Worth a shot!

    Check out www.saturdayaudio.com Look at their demo gear for sale. They have an Onkyo Integra 7.1ch receiver for $299, list was $800. They also have some Denon DVD players on sale. The Denon DVD players make for a decent CD player.
    Lotta good suggestions from all over but Blackie boils it down to the basics. Of course, looking for used items or N/OS may leave you knocking at fate's door...

    Something to keep in mind, those original Insignia speakers that caused all the stir were the product of a single, initial shipment of KEF drivers...a shipment that has never reoccured. There was quite a commotion over at AGon about it as, after the first series sold out, the quality declined drastically.

    Speaking of KEF, I'm probably the resident KEF shill...got a pair of Q7's that I use in a secondary system with an Onkyo receiver, a PC and an old Pioneer PDM423 that has uncharacteristically good DACs.

    I don't think you can go wrong with either an Onkyo or Yamaha receiver. Marantz is excellent but even the vintage units will be budget-breakers.

    Good luck and happy hunting...

    OK, quick update, and than you for all the suggestions, keep em coming!

    Here are my thoughts at the moment, liable to change at any time of course;

    Amp:
    Yamaha RX-397 (2 channel receiver, no HT) 50wpc, like the simplicity of it, gets great user reviews everywhere, likely very reliable. best price of $182 $20s/h from brandnamez.com

    Runner up: Onkyo TX-8555 more power, not really needed, reviews are quite as good, about $255.

    CD Source: Yamaha DVD-S1800 new at Amazon for $79. Was $400ish 3 years ago. Sounds like a good player for music too, and the dvd might come in handy at some point.

    To note, finding "budget" dedicated cd players is almost impossible new, I've found. Sony makes a 5 disc unit, gets horrible reviews. Otherwise, budget is $300 for NAD or more. So, a $79 unit that is also a dvd player, but gets great reviews, seems like a good move for now.

    Turntable: Denon DP-300F, $195 new at Dakmart. No other contenders at $200 or less I don't think.

    Speakers: This is the most open part, so far. The contenders so far:

    Mordaunt Short 902i, $225 from Needledoctor.com
    Cambridge Audio C30 (made by Mordaunt Short) $205 incl s/h from Brandnamez.com, or $225 from Audioadvisor.com (not sure if s/h is included, probably not)
    Polk Tsi100 $199 from Crutchfield, others.
    PSB Image B15 $250 from audioadvisor
    Paradigm Atoms, other?
    Edit, I forgot the Energy C300s, floorstanders, but they seem like a great value. I owned a pair of Energy monitors before, C30s maybe?, and they were very good.

    So I see this cost around $700+ right now, not including cables (is mtrycrafts here anymore? or speaker stands. I do have a good audio cabinet already.

    Anyother speaker suggestions? I'd rather not pair them with a subwoofer either. Thanks so much for all the good suggestions/ideas. This also doesn't take into account the 2 local shops I have yet to visit. Who knows what I'll find there, and if possible, I would rather buy local.

    Good to know on the Insignias, I thought it might be too good to be true. As far as Kef goes, how are the Cresta 2? I saw them for sale somewhere, good price. Older pair aren't they, or are they still being made? Anything by Kef in the under $300 range I can look at?

    Talked to the local shop, wasn't thrilled with their recommendations, but worth a look I guess. But I think i can get better, and cheaper, by shopping online, even if i would prefer not doing so. Going to keep looking for some budget buys...

    I would jump on these NHT Classic 2's from audiogon.

    http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....HT-Classic-Two

    Nice warm sounding speaker with excellent midbass.

    And here's a pair of PSB B-25's, a much better speaker than the B-15's for bass

    Have you considered a speaker kit from Parts Express or Madisound? They seem to offer quite a bang for the buck and look fairly easy to put together. I'm considering the Dayton UA701 Usher 701 for my first project to learn. It seems hard to beat the drivers in the sub $300 range.

    Having said this, the Axiom M3v2 seems interesting for $330/pair.

    Short of that, ebay or audiogon for used equipment. I've bought and sold on audiogon with excellent results. There are lots of people looking to upgrade, so there's always gear to be purchased!

    Thanks for those links, is the NHT priced per pair? If so, that is good. The older B&W's look good too, I'm not very familiar with those models, I'll have to do some research on them.
