I believe both the Axiom and B&W 303 have bass ports at the rear of the speaker. This may not be a good thing considering that one of your speakers will be placed against a wall..may want to look at the PSB Image 2B ($399 new)... or something like a used Triangle Titus, which I believe has the bass port at the front of the speaker...in either case I believe they will offer you more flexibility in terms of placement
Bookshelf Speakers For 350 Or Less?? new & used
Hi,
A female friend asked me to recommend some bookshelf speakers for $350 or less, but I'm not too familiar with many of those models (I've heard the Mission 731i at $200-ish, but not much else). Which used or new (perhaps manufacturer direct?) models would you folks recommend in that price range?
Her receiver / CD combo is Sony / JVC mass market stuff. She listens to a lot of classical and some acoustic-based rock/pop. Most of her listening is probably background while she's cooking or roaming the house, but she is a musician and she does *listen*.
Any info would be appreciated, including recommendations that cost less than $350.
Thanks,
Phil
