Good Monitors for no more than 150?

This is an easy one, the Roth Audio OLi1, a solid and beautiful British minimonitor with great sound for $150. Read my reviews at Amazon and Audio Circle.

I forgot to add a rave review of the OLi1 by What Hi-Fi? magazine.

If you're willing to go up to $200/pr, you could snag one of the last closeout pairs of Athena LS-300 towers (retail $500/pair) from Audio Advisor. I always liked the speakers from API: Good tonal balance, smooth, neutral, works well with all kinds of music. These floorstanders will also give you more of the bottom octave than most sub-$200 contenders.

At your target $150/pair, you'd be hard-pressed to beat the Energy C-200. 88dB sensitivity, bass into the low 40's/high 30's, handles up to 125 watts, excellent room-filling dispersion, good transparency and detail in a natural perspective, especially at that price.

Wharfedale 9.0, 9.1, 9.2.
Had the 9.0 for a small system and had to g to Quad 12s to upgrade.
Try tsto.com, new 9.0s are $99 per pair.
