Bookshelf speakers on a budget

Look at the Tannoy Mercury lineup - good value and performance.

Quite neutral and well balanced.

Depending on the model you may find a sub will provide significant improvements without the need for those floor-standers

Want to build it yourself? The LM-1 or Jeff Bagby's Continuum are in your price range.  Figure you'll end up with speakers worth $1,500 to $2,500 speakers for the same spend.

I have no financial interest in you building either, but I did design the LM-1 and would love to have more people building them.

If you absolutely must buy, used Monitor Audio Silvers.

Best,

New Elacs designed by Andrew Jones are all the buzz. Cheers,
