Recommended new speakers for under $500?


Hi all, I'm looking for a set of new speakers for backup/second system. Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking about the Usher S-520. I have no preference whether the speakers are full range, monitor, or planar.

Yea, the MMGs are on top of my list too. Used to have the MG IIIs back in the 80's.
Dracule1, I had Thiel's, Acoustic zen, JBL monitors and a few others in my main system for a good while. All were excellent. I decided to keep my MMG's as my mains for a good while because I could not give up those mids/highs. I tried a few different positions for the placement of the speakers AND my listening position. I found the spot where I had plenty of base for my taste. I listen to everything...classical, rock, metal, punk, progressive jazz...and all on vinyl mostly. I throw in a cd every once in a while. As for a secondary system...you cant go wrong with these guys. Period. IMHO of course. Cheers.
JohnBlue JB3 would be my suggestion. Do a search for reviews.

You can always add a sub later to make them really shine.
