Bookshelf speakers on a budget


Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for a decent pair of bookshelf speakers. However I'm on a budget in the $400-$500 range; I know this is a low dollar amount but it's all I can afford right now. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate them.

Thanks

Dali Zensor.Zensor1 if you have a really small room,Zensor3 will give you BIG bass but will need a bit more room to breathe.BOTH will give you a wonderfuly musical presentation with excellent imaging & sound staging!
If you can stretch the budget just a bit, I'd suggest taking a strong look at the Peachtree D5 at $599 a pair.  These used to sell for $799, and were a good bang for the buck then.  Very nice looking and decent bass for their size.  I'm really happy with mine.
Audio Engine makes some of the best sounding small speakers for around $250.00-$500. And they are self powered! just connect a source and your good to go. http://www.whathifi.com/audioengine/a2/review.
