best low priced bookshelf speakers

All good advice.  I was looking at used speakers up to $300 and many were there.  There is a pair of NHT classic 2's at $141 but as was said they might not be the most fulfilling.  They originally retailed at $600 although price isn't the best indicator of sound and I have not listened to them.

yeah bdp24 the super zeros should be a good match.  I would be interested in your listing though as I said our budget is small.

Thank you everybody.  There was a bunch of really great recommendations.  I'll pass this info to him to use to upgrade.  Meanwhile he bought a pair of NHT super one's and is pleased with them.  We'll see how they do when I add my old NHT sub zero to the mix.  As an old audiophile I hope to entice him into listening to many different components.  He is a musician and is developing his direction.  Thank you all again!
