Well liked speakers for a dirt cheap price.

Shipping is the "dealbreaker" here. You can get the B652 off Amazon for about the same price w/ free Prime shipping, assuming you have Prime. I just ordered a pair last week, actually. I also ordered the Lepai LP-2020+ to power it. Total cost under $70.
I am sooooo tempted to do just this. Also team it all up with a belkin bluetooth receiver and bam, go-go gadget flow!
ONly weak thing in this *I think* is the PSU, do you have to use a more powerful PSU to drive most speakers?
Many people recommended pairing the B652 with the Lepai, which outputs 20W/channel. The B652's are rated for 40W RMS each, but you don't need an amp that powerful for them to sound good. You're not going to want to blast these anyway. They should still be plenty loud at 10-15W/channel.
So my main LCD has down firing speakers and is in a corner cabinet, which means I am usually listening at 70 - 80% volume for a lot of my content. I was intending on getting a speakerbar for a cheap solution, but how would this compare (these speakers and the Lepai amp mentioned)? I realize there would be a lot more lows with these speakers, but since I am mainly concerned with hearing voices, I wasn't sure if this would be as good or not.
Newegg had some pioneer speakers on sale a couple weeks ago that are much better than these, for $49 with free shipping. I have listened to these, they are pretty poor. Still, for the money, there is hardly anything out there cheaper.
I don't know if I'd say the BS22 is that much better. It's definitely much lower sensitivity than the B652 though, which could be an issue for us guys using these little digital amps.

These are a cheap alternative for a computer speaker rivaling these.

I see that I can control the adjustments for volume, bass and treble from the amplifiers panel. Rather than getting up and down when I want to adjust the volume should I just set the amplifier to about 85% volume and adjust from my TV from thereon?
