Temporary monitors that I'm borrowing. I think i might buy them if I do not come across something better though.

What do you guys think? (yes i know its not very neat, but I just hooked them up, and im working on where to put them haha)

Ah. Polk monitors are alright, but that receiver is pretty friggin sweet. How much you get the monitors for?
 
im borrowing the monitors. what would you recommend i buy for around 200?

oh, i did get the receiver for for free too :D
 
Wow. That's sick. Um... around 200? Hmm... try the Audioengine A2, Swan M200MKII, or Acculaine A1.

Do you need a subwoofer?

I am trying to think of a passive speaker for under $300, but it's just not working for me because I generally would only recommend them to people who can afford to actually buy a receiver that awesome.
 
I just recently bought a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 8.2, just over 200 shipped, and I love them.
 
A free Denon 4802?? Nice score!

One thing to consider is that each one of the Polks in your pics has 2 woofers + 1 tweeter. I think all the speakers mentioned here are bookshelves, meaning 1 woofer + 1 tweeter, so they'll have less of a bass punch than those Polks.
 
Aren't those Polk speakers center channel speakers? That's why they have the driver config like that. I use 2 Energy center channels as my rears because the drivers are exactly the same as the Energy C-100 rears they make but have one more midrange/woofer driver and cost exactly the same. I figured the center channel speakers were better bang-for-the-buck.

IMO, those speakers are too big for your desk so you should get a bigger desk or smaller speakers.

Um, he has a reciever. Why recommend powered speakers?
I've read good things about the Acculine A1's. Also considering the Polk TSi100's and a pair of Yamaha bookshelf speakers for myself.

For $200, read up on the Infinity Primus P162 speakers.

Do you always just read parts of the post instead of all of it and then continue to make comments on them?

I recommend powered speakers because I don't know many passive speakers under the $200 mark unless they are used.
 
That's a pretty lame reason to recommend powered speakers.
Once again, read up on the Infinity Primus P162 bookshelfs.

I read the whole post. Duh. He said he has a receiver. Just because you can't think of a pair of bookshelf speakers under $300 doesn't mean they don't exist.

Yeah, I recommended what I can. I don't recommend random passive speakers that I've never heard or don't know anything about. Duh.
 
Take a look at www.thespeakercompany.com

They've been getting good reviews on audioholics.com (both official reviews and in their forums).

Here's a link to their bookshelf line:

If you can swing 325 a pair, take a look at magnepan's mmgw (wall mounted or you can get stands)

Also, take at look at vanns.com for specials
Some KEF's on sale here:

I'd also take a look at craigslist in your area, might be some deals in your area (ymmv) if you don't mind used stuff.
