Can someone help me pick out my first speakers?

I am not tech-savvy at all, and I'm really sorry if this is the wrong place to post it, but I'm looking for a pair of small decent home speakers for music in the $300 range.

I've heard people on reddit discourage people from buying Beats and Bose but that's the extent of my knowledge! Can someone recommend a pair of speakers to me? Or direct me to the correct subreddit if I'm not in the right place?

Thank you!

@pehrafano What did you end up going with? Just curious.

If you can find the Pioneer SP-FS52's which are Audio Andrew Jones Designed Floor Standing Loudspeakers, they are the best sounding speakers I have heard at this budget.  I bought a pair to use in a secondary system and recently hooked them up to my tube amp and my buddy is in love with them.  Tight bass and exquisite crossovers for a very detailed sound at that price.  They are not efficient and so, they do thrive on power.

Pretty sure OP abandoned the thread the minute he read the now deleted posts. Unfortunately, I have seen this before.

The Klipsch RP-600M at less than $300, really punches above its weight.  You will need a pair of stands to make this one sing.

 

Used Klipsch RP-600M $289 in eBay

What did the deleted posts say that would have scared the OP away?  Well if the OP is still around I saw a pair of the Polk R100's open box at Music Direct for around $300 bucks. Don't let the Polk name dissuade you, the Reserve series is a great bang for your buck type of speaker, well made as well. Emotiva B1+ is decent. I haven't heard any other speakers really around that price. I'd personally look for a deal on a vintage pair, but not knowing what to look for in your case would make that much harder. Good Luck
