NHT Classic Three Bookshelf Loudspeaker
“I have been a NHT user for almost 20 years and could not be happier. For the price there is not a finer speaker, should cost so much more. I live near the headquarters of NHT and the let me trade in my old speakers and gave me 30 percent off. Great service and amazing owners. ” --Richard Perkins
Mordaunt Short Carnival 3 Bipole Speakers Pair - Black
“These were the surrounds in my first home theater setup & they give great bang for the buck. Had no idea what I was buying, just started looking around & really hadn't read any reviews or been to this forum much, so it was a shot in the dark & not bad at all. Picked the Calvados color & really loved it. These provided great surround for movies & even music. No complaints!” --wtxgringo
Polk Audio Monitor40 Series II Two-Way Bookshelf Loudspeaker (Cherry) Pair
“Initially got these to use as surrounds and they work fine for that, reproducing things I hadn't heard from my older set of speakers (Mordaunt-Short Carnival dipole). These are attractive in cherry veneer, good size & weight & balance well on stands. I purchased another set of M70s for surrounds & moved these as front wides & they've really come alive in the front stage, reproducing voice &...” --wtxgringo
Dayton Audio RS621B Speaker Pair Gloss Black
“I bought these to use as my rear left and right channel speakers and let me say I am far more impressed that I thought I was going to be. For the price you just can't beat these speakers. The only con that I can see is quality and that is only cosmetic. One corner on mine the veneer is slightly wrinkled for about 1/4 inch. I would / will be buying more.” --hcker2000
Energy C-100 Bookshelf Speakers
“For the price, $85 / pair on woot.com, this is an excellent speaker. Great detail and a neutral tone. Excels at both music and HT.” --ShannonT
Mordaunt Short - Carnival 2 - Bookshelf Speakers - Pair - Calvados
“My first setup was with these, the 5 center & 3 dipole surrounds, sounded great for over a year til I got the upgrade bug. Love the Calvados color, fits perfectly with my cherry tv stand etc. These speakers are quite hefty & put out good sound even when pushed hard which I did on occasion with little or no distortion. I'd recommend this speaker setup for anyone on a budget & just beginning....” --wtxgringo
Energy CB-20 Bookshelf Speakers
“Just picked up two pairs of these late last year (fronts and side surrounds) and have been very impressed with the sound and efficiency they provide. Currently using a Yamaha HTR-6280, and matched them with a CC-10 center and 2 CR-10's for the surround backs. So far im very happy with this "budget" system and will update more as I've had some time to use them. ” --kernmyea
Yamaha Bookshelf Speakers
“I must say, when I bought these I wasn't expecting a whole lot. First, I didn't expect them to be much bigger than the bookshelf speakers I already had (I bought the Yamaha RX-371 that came with 5 speakers and subwoofer, which for starting out were great) Holy crap, these things are bahemoths compared to those. The woofer on this is basically as large as my old speaker itself. So after that, I...” --infuriatedrain
Polk Audio R150 Two-Way Bookshelf Loudspeakers (Pair)
“These Polk R150's are the first set of speakers I own, and still do. I was on a budget and after searching on AVSForum, these seemed like a good fit for my needs. The speakers are compact enough where they don't take up a ton of space, and at the time of purchase, space was at a premium and had to fit in my entertainment center at the time, and that they did. I put the rear channels on stands...” --qbbraveheart
Paradigm Cinema 90 V.3 Bookshelf Speakers
“Bought these almost 10 years ago. At the time they were very well reviewed. They have held together nicely and still perform admirably. I got them as part of a 5.1 set, and I can't even remember what I paid for it all; I think it was less than $1000 from and authorized dealer - for some reason 800 sticks in my mind. Haven't really had issues with them - they are small and you can only...” --thestumper
