Best Bookshelf Speakers


I just blew a driver in one of my bookshelf speakers. I am driving them with an inexpensive reciever. I am looking for a recommendation for replacement speakers. Price NEW must be $1,000 or less. Thanks for the help!

try linn tukans(kinda forward) or the b&w cdmse for a more laid back sound.you can buy em used for about $500-600 a pair u need good electronics to benifit from these speakers
The VA's are warm sounding, then JMR's are pretty neutral, and the Totem's can be a little foward. These 3 cover a pretty wide spectrum as far as tastes goes and build quality is excellent.
Elac CL 310i Jet or CL 305. Most amazing sound from a speaker this size. Hard to find in the U.S. I have a pair and will never give them up. http://www.elac.com/english/index.html
Paradigm Reference Studio40v.2! The soundstage and imaging is wonderful, and the bass is very tight and fast.
If you are using a receiver don't waste money on expensive speakers. PSB Alphas are OK, but even better are the new
PSB Image 2B bookshelf with larger woofer giving more bass.
Retail new is $399 but you can buy many places at big discount on internet for $250-300. They perform way beyond their price, recently reviewed at soundstage.com
