Very inexpensive speakers for a 2nd system

I'm looking at building a secondary system in an upstairs sitting room. This would be for casual listening, entertaining, and music during dinner. I'm reasonably certain this will be built around a Jolida 1301a hybrid integrated amplifier (30wpc). Jolida recommended an 89dB minimum sensitivity for this system.

I can consider slim floor standers or bookshelf speakers. No subs per the WAF. We aren't looking to shake the room, but some reasonable bass would be nice. Looking to spend less than $400 (used or new).

I've been looking at:
Monitor Audio BR2, B4, or BR5
Epos ELS-3
PSB Alpha
Something from Paradigm

Any suggestions here?

Thanks for the responses everyone! So, it looks like it's a matter of what speakers look the best to me and can be found the cheapest.

Any other suggestions, keep em coming!

At this point, I'm leaning toward the Monitor Audio BR2. I like the front ported design, as these speakers may end up closer to the wall that I'd normally like. Anyone with negative experiences with them?
