Best low budget bookshelf speakers to buy?

I've currently just got the ads L1230's and CF-3 v1's but have listed the CF-3's as I want to try some other things; one potentially being the Studio 590's.  Or, the larger set of L1530's, which I loved back when they were new.  Missed out on a couple of killer deals over the last couple months....Vestorovic System 12a's and VMPS RM40's.  If I could have made it on a Friday, I could have had either....but I was on call and apparently people couldn't wait till the next morning.  Sheesh.

If you go JBL Studio, I'd try the 580s with a subwoofer.  When the designer says in firm terms that the 580 is better, hard not to listen.  I think he had mentioned that the woofers integrate better and that the 590s had a bigger woofer for marketing. 

 

I think that it was in this video.  The interviewer is not very good, but it is an interview with Timbers.

Just keep checking the ads and keep putting money aside every month and you may be listening to Heritage speakers in your room sooner than you’d think.

Good plan!  I should sell some of my old stuff too...that would help the cause!

A used in good shape pair of KG 1.5's would fit the bill. Great sound, for their size but not horn loaded.

 

Have I been mistaken all these years?  I was of the understanding the tweeter incorporated what was referred to as a "dhorn".

Yes you could be correct, don't know for sure. However, there is no mid-horn which, in my personal opinion, is where the magic lies. Of, and obviously no folded horn for the bottom end.
