Good speakers for a low budget


Hi, I am helping a friend find speakers for around $600. Aesthetics are a high priority. Thank you.

Just received my AudioAdvisor flier in the mail today. They are advertising new NHT Classic 3s for $650. I haven't owned them but at that price.
If he is looking for a bookshelf speaker, try the Energy RC10 . Just picked up a pair and am very impressed with them. Excellent pricing (almost 50% off) for certain speaker finishes.

Used was the idea. As far as specifics go, the speaker should be musical (she likes to dance), not too bright, and they should sound relatively good outside their sweet spot (she likes to listen to music while cleaning). Thank you for your suggestions.
