looking for a pair of bookshelf HT main speakers under $350...think I've narrowed it down to these:

R5Bi Bookshelf
Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 350
Epos - Epic 2 Bookshelf

opinions?
any others recommended that I'm missing, or should look at?

thanks in advance!

If you can get the Epos Epic for under $350, that would be a great choice to audition. If you plan to have a sub, the R5Bi's are very worthy of audition. I own these, and you can see my review here: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/dbtreview.php?do=view_review&id=4850&ri=review

Watch e-bay, you can also find DefTech SM-450'S for less than that also.
