Used speakers

I've recently upgraded and am giving my nephew my ancient Hafler 220A amp and Hafler pre-amp. The amp is rated at 120wpc. As befits a 16 year-old, he likes his music loud with lots of bass. I'd like to get him some used speakers in the $250 range. Any suggestions, biggest bang for the buck? Do I need to spend more?

p.s. I've gotten some used PSB gold i's as you previously recommended. I'm eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Thanks, Trelja. I would have given him my old Klipsch 4.5's, which have an excellent sensitivity, but a friend of mine who was,shall we say, feeling no pain cranked my new amp to maximum and blew them. Not an easy thing to do with those!

Thanks to all for your comments. I've sent the amp and pre-amp for his birthday and will be sending him a tuner and speakers for Christmas. In honor of his 16th birthday I'm listening to Iggy Pop, Beausoleil and Hugh Masekela at high volume. Plus "This Guy's In Love" by Herb Albert. I can't figure out if I wish I were sixteen again or if I'd never been sixteen.
