Best new pair of bookshelfs $250 shipped can buy

[Joe Schmoe]

The Harmon/Infinity website makes no mention of hardware upgrades and the specs look like they haven't changed. I would imagine they would measure quite similar to one another.

They haven't changed internally at all. Only the cosmetic design of the front baffles and grilles are different, as far as I know.

In recently measured a Primus 362. It measured identically to Stereophile's published measurements of a Primus 360. Inside, I found a Primus 360 network board. Note: the cabinet is highly resonant, as is to be expected from any full size regular consumer speaker.

Well what I didn't know was that those KEF's are sold in eaches, so I guess I can forget about them. I can however get a pair of Energy RC-10's for $333 but I noticed that in the 150-400hz range they dip to 4ohms... and I'm thinking that might be too much for my Onkyo 506 to handle...

I second the used x-Ls purchase from AV123. beautiful sounding speakers for the price, if you can get the classics. Encore's also fantastic.

And if you're going up to $400, maybe you should start considering some floorstanders.

And if you can wait for them, tweakcityaudio will have an interesting set out at some point.

Emotiva and Audio Insider?

I'd also consider the new speaker line from Emotiva. Also of note is the audio insider product line. Both from my reading (haven't heard them personally) they should be fantastic speakers for the money. The Acculine look interesting to me...
