Very inexpensive speakers for a 2nd system


I'm looking at building a secondary system in an upstairs sitting room. This would be for casual listening, entertaining, and music during dinner. I'm reasonably certain this will be built around a Jolida 1301a hybrid integrated amplifier (30wpc). Jolida recommended an 89dB minimum sensitivity for this system.

I can consider slim floor standers or bookshelf speakers. No subs per the WAF. We aren't looking to shake the room, but some reasonable bass would be nice. Looking to spend less than $400 (used or new).

I've been looking at:
Monitor Audio BR2, B4, or BR5
Epos ELS-3
PSB Alpha
Something from Paradigm

Any suggestions here?

Check out the Kinima G1s for sale on Agon. When I was using them to my 40watt AA amp, they sounded great. For a sitting room or for low moderate diner music these would be hard to beat at the $400 price. When I upgraded I ended up with WB Arcs to get something better. They are rear ported so if you are putting them on a shelf you might want to plug the port. If mounted on stands, get good stands, preferbly Osiris.
