Dynaudio Audience 52SE - should be able to get a used set for $800 w/o stands. Although specs say they reach down to 45Hz right positioning will convince you they reach much lower.
Looking for a compact speaker w/ some low end kick
I just let go of some very nice floor standing speakers that my wife hated. They were too big! I do not want anything really nice or expensive because I have a 6 and 9 year old that will eventually tackle them. I would like them to sound nice. I was thinking of The Totem Mani-2 (used) or similar. Has anyone heard the Neat Momentum 3i's? Yhose look like a Mani-2. Any suggestions would be helpful. I will get an integrated to match up the speakers later.
