What can $300 do?

OK audiophools, I need your help. A dear friend of mine (broke right now) needs a pair of speakers. He has Adcom amplification and a Micromega Stage 2 cdp which I gave him. Lucky him, heh? One hellava cdp, even 7 years later. Anyway, what can I get him on the 'gon. He wants me to go used and get the best for $300. Hey let's make it $400. I'm sure he'll go the extra century. What's a guy to do? Thanks in advance. I'm pretty audiophoolish at this price level. Here's what I was thinking about, used:
Alon Petite
Thiel Cs 1.2 (big maybe for that price)
Psb, don't know a model.
Help!

p.s. if you want to get fancy and improve the sound even more do this.
Attach a piece of plywood bigger than the diameter of the bottom block.Fill the stacked blocks with sand.Put a plywood cap on the top block and then the poster putty between the 20's
You will have a very heavy foundation for the 20's.
Sounds like fun.I could have saved myself $200 for stands if I would have done this when I had some 20's!

You gave him the amp and the CDP and now you are hunting for speakers, too? Did you lose a bet? Is your friend in a coma? Warrenh, you must be one nice guy, for sure.

No Matchstikman, I just gave him the CDP. I'm not an Adcom kinda guy.

Celestion SL 6s listed on Audiogon for $300/pr. A real sleeper if you like British sound.
