bruschi54 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I am looking for a bookshelf speaker with an 8" woofer or any floorstander. If you have something, let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 You might (big maybe) get close with say $100 more of a budget, depending on shipping, and get a decent enough pair. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepathlesstaken Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I second throwing another $100.00-$150.00 in the pot and getting a good floorstander. My suggestion would be to get a local Klipsch Forte for $400.00-$450.00. Forte is a lot of speaker for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st. patrick Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 elusive disc is advertising a special on epos for about that amount; i seem to recall that they got good press considering their size. with Klipsch you are probably looking at a pair of KG-4's that are pretty clean, but you may have to up the ante to cover the shipping. oh yeah, maybe i have a spare set . . .

stc4life Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 You might be able to track down a used set of ksb 3.1's on ebay (I think there is a pair on there now). I have some and love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomlakearea51 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Agree on Heresy's, or KG's, you might find a pair of "cosmetically" challenged Heresy's, but otherwise "sound fine" pair on eBay. You have to look every day though, sometimes good "deals" posted there slip away fast. You do need to increase your "budget" though, about $100 to find something that's going to work well.

thepathlesstaken Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 KG 4 is a good choice but you could also get the KG 5.5 at around $300.00. I listen and own a pair of 5.5s and they are a pretty good speaker but the three way heritiage and neo hertiage klipsch blow the doors on them.

jacksonbart Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 BA - T830s are 3 way with a soft dome 1 inch tweeter, 6 inch mid and a 8 inch woofer. 90dbs sensitivity floor standing model, laid back sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 It's interesting that the guy clearly gives an upper limit of $285 and that just about every repsonse ignores that limit. Maybe the problem is that the $285/shipping/3 way /etc is not realistic.... I would check craig list and local classifieds. Something will come up -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
