Home Audio, Best bang for the buck speakers.

Bookshelf or bigger preferably, brands and models.
Not talking about component surround speakers, want something for music in the office during the day so I don't have to use headphones.

Not to jack the thread, but I'm actually interested in a surround sound system for the living room. I really don't wanna go over $1k though.. suggestions?

amazon is having a sale on martin logan satellite speakers and I have the marantz nr1501...the 1601 is the newer model but i just saw the 1501 on sale as well on amazon... that should be a good setup right near 1k

I have some extra speakers that my boss gave me on accident. Hes probably just going to take them back or give us a six pack for them. You can take them off my hand for 90% off right now. Let me just get them out of my white van or truck that I drive around parking lots all day.

I picked up onkyo reciever + martin logan 5.1 surround system at FRYS this summer. should run you right around a grand and its an awesome little setup

Find someone with some woodworking skills and someone that can solder and got here. I built the Dayton III MT and they easily surpass speakers in the 1-1.5k range, easily.

With that budget I would suggest this.....

Onkyo TX-SR608 [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BIFOL8/]Amazon.com: Onkyo TX-SR608 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black): Electronics[/ame]

Klipsch QUINTET 5.0 Speaker System [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HWRKA2/]Amazon.com: Klipsch QUINTET 5.0 Speaker System (Black HG): Electronics[/ame]

Klipsch SW-350 Subwoofer [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HWRK9I/]Amazon.com: Klipsch SW-350 8-Inch 350 Watt Subwoofer (Black): Electronics[/ame]

You could get it under $1000 if you switched the subwoofer to the Klipsch Sub-10

Contact them and try to work out a deal - Ultimate Electronics in STL carried this stuff for about 6 months but supposedly he couldn't keep up with demand. The corp headquarters made them stop selling it since he couldn't keep up and they couldnt seel them in all stores. I listened to every setup they had in the showroom. You will need a kleenex after listening.

Bias Disclaimer: I have a 7.2 surround with the M line.
