Best CHEAP floorstanders?

I second the recomendation for the Meadowlark Kestrel. They are also quite easy to setup.

Tannoys release of their Mercury M-series brought them back to the top sellers list in the European market:

Take a look at the MX-4, which runs about $730 for a 91db 8ohm floor stander... pretty nice looking as well

Or, their MX-3 at $530... however, I believe its rated at 89db...also 8ohm...

Then their is Axiom Audio... a Canadian company I believe..their Millennia M40Ti comes in at about $470 for a 93db, 8ohm floor stander...

You specifically asked for a $750 RETAIL CAP, so that is what I provided... You have plenty more choices in the used market...good luck

Get the Wharfedale Emerald97's or Emerald95's. Wharfedale is a british speaker company adn they are very reputable. Both of these models are biwireable. They have a real wood cabinet and they look great and of course sound awesome. The difference between the two is the 97's have two 6.5 in drivers and the 95's have one 6.5 in driver. You can get the 97's on Amazon.com for $700 and the 95's are $400. These speakers are affordable and have very good quality. I have the 97's for my mains and 95's for my rears and an emerald center channel speaker and my thx system cranks. If I had to do it all over again I would do the same. The perfect tower speaker for the buck.

the emeralds are also have a 95 db rating
