If I went to a dealer looking for speakers and his first question was "what's your budget?", I would consider that inappropriate. Starting off by quoting your budget is probably not going to give you meaningful responses, whether the question is hypothetical or not.
Let us know your room size and if it is dedicated for listening. Let us know what the rest of the system is and what types of music are favoured. Let us know if you have a proclivity for box speakers as opposed to panels, horns, etc.
There are great speakers at every price point but a more info would help. Go!
