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?

You have a very good list there, you should be happy with any of them -- I think preference here is personal, or even based on looks, they are all competitive with each other at the price range. You should also consider the bookshelf Nola (formely Alon)- one of the great small speakers that are relatively affordable.
