I used to have a pair of B&W DM302s. At $250/pair, they're able to hold their own against speakers that cost several times what they do. The low end is non-existent, but everything else about them is great.
The best improvement I've ever gotten per dollar, though, was $9 worth of acoustic ceiling tile screwed to the wall in the primary reflection point.
