Best Bookshelf Speakers


I just blew a driver in one of my bookshelf speakers. I am driving them with an inexpensive reciever. I am looking for a recommendation for replacement speakers. Price NEW must be $1,000 or less. Thanks for the help!

Jtinn: What were the speakers that you blew and did you like them, if not what was it that you did not like about them? What kind of music do you listen to? Also how much power does your amp have and what is the size of your listening room? When was the first time you...? The answers to these questions will allow the people at this forum to make better recommendations. To get your money's worth the speakers need to match the power of your amp, the room and your personal taste. Some speakers are soft, some are bright, etc.. I have home demoed some "good" speakers that were not so good in my listening room with my amplifier.
The Legacy Studio Monitors are the best. Well built - look good in your choice of finish and sound incredible.
PSB has an entry level model that you can get for $200 pr. It is an awesome buy for the money.
Look at the Linn Tukans. Listen to them and trust me you will not go anywhere else. The jey is you have to listen to them.
I'd look at the Swans Diva speakers. Best value for the money. av123.com. Another thought: Audio Concepts Sapphire III. www.audioc.com. Also might look at a speaker kit. The Seas Odin at www.zalytron.com Good luck.
