50% music and 50% movies, I wondering what are some good Floor standers for $300 a pair, I was going to get bookshelves but I keep getting this upgrading bug every time I look at this forum lol.

 

[ousooner2]

there was a thread that was just made about a pair of floorstanders for $300.


Infinity P362's

Polk Monitor towers

Energy C-300/500's

etc


There are bunches of others

Polk Monitor 60's or even 70's if you can stretch your budget.

Oop's, they are out of Monitor 60's

or try the ebay dealer "polkdirect" or their ebay store "Polk Direct Audio" for floor standing speakers

Yea I was looking at the polk monitor series and I was wondering, which one is best for music monitor 50, 60, or 70. What is the best surrounds that go with them.

If you can, listen to them before you buy them.

 

[m_vanmeter]

the Monitor 70's could be considered the the preferred speakers for music. And since you mentioned music as an option, the surrounds should match...so you are looking at Monitor 30's or Monitor 40's (may be hard to find now, the sale prices were so good they were snapped up quickly) If you are considering pulling the trigger on Monitor's, don't wait long. Many of the sources like Amazon.com and to an extent Newegg.com are already sold out of many models and veneer finishes.

I believe TSTO had some Mordaunt-Short floor standers for around $300. Those are nice-sounding speakers.

 www.frys.com just put JBL Balboa towers on sale. Just info....I don't know anything about this JBL line.

KEF iQ7 at Vann's for $250 a pair ($300 for black...).

 

[afrogt]

The iQ7's are sold individually, so that's $250 each!

Oooops, my bad.


The iQ5's get closer to budget ($360 in walnut or $400 for black).


I know they're "just" bookshelf, but the iQ3's are $250 for a pair...

I had bought the Monitor 50's from Frys and then scored 2 P362's from EBay and tested them.....


Long story short, I kept the P362's and returned the M50's back to Frys. So +1 for the P362's at $120 each.

This is going to be hard to beat if you are a Polk fan.
