    Best Compact Floorstanding speakers for 300 or under per pair

    I'm looking to build a small system in my bedroom and am looking for the best bang for buck compact floorstanding speakers that I can pick up for 300 or less for the pair.

    Thanks in advance

    Take a look at the Infinity Primus 362's http://cgi.ebay.com/INFINITY-PRIMUS-...QQcmdZViewItem

    http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&key...l_8qmnqzclsy_e

    Here's a KEF and this would be my choice but it cost about $360pr http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/it...kef-iq5-walnut

    These are a great buy as well Energy C-300 http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=ENC300

    If it were me, I would spend the extra cash and get the KEF's.

    The Athena's seem like a good buy. I wonder if the Hot looking Chick comes with them too!

    I believe she's used to dampen the speakers
