Huge liquidation sale!
This is what I would recommend with the budget you are working with. About another $100 on the top, so $400, however these will blow any on the list away (IMO of course). List price was a rediculous $1,299.
Crossovers are all air core, poly caps. Designed well.
Drivers are very similar to GR Research A/V Kit.
However, the Cabinets are awesome looking. Mirror black finish, designed to look like a Pedestal. 3/4" MDF walls, 1 1/4" top/bottom.
Every review I have seen has been glowing.
If these are anything like the stuff I own designed by the same guy (Dannie Richie), these will image extremely well and have a smooth neutral sound.
