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!

Celestion SL 6s listed on Audiogon for $300/pr. A real sleeper if you like British sound.
Tom, I would never have thought of those baby maggies. Use to own the Tympani 1Ds. Loved them. No room now, though. I got enough guys. Thanks for the help. peace, warren
Just listened to Monitor Audio Bronze B1 - demo set was $220, retails new for $300. Great little bookshelf speaker. Highly recommended. Was comparing them against Wharfedale Diamond 8.1s for same price ($199 Amazon) - also good, although I'd give the nod to the MAB for the price. Really sang in the upper ranges - some kind of metallic tweeter, but didn't sound shrill. A good comparo view of $300 bookshelf speakers gave the MABs the nod.

There is a pair of Spica TC60's on the Gon now for $400.00. Was and still is a great sounding speaker.
