What ever the dealer has to sell. It's always the best!

Music Direct is a dealer, and this is a good price for the pair
Wharfedale EVO

And look at the PSB GT1 - good price for the pair

The Infinity Classia C336 (48.5" high) towers are retailed @ $900 each, but Vanns.com is selling them for $230ea shipped.

Home Theater Mag measured the 5-point avg FR: +2.22dB/-0.72dB from 200Hz - 10kHz.

DenPureSound emailed me a review from AudioXpress about the C336.

David Rich, who used to write for The Audio Critic, wrote:

"...the C336 is a more accurate loudspeaker compared to those voiced to taste...In the frequency range of midrange & tweeter, the C336 produce cleaner sound than the other speakers I had on hand at high SPL levels...In conclusion, the C336 measured better than others I recently auditioned, and the subjective performance corroborated the results. It's excellent performance is obvious when compared to other similarly priced speakers..."

look at the psb's. they have a reputation for making speakers that sound like if they are worth more. also the kef Q500's are very good aswell.

For $570ea shipped, I would get these KEF Q900 towers even if they are open box like-new condition since you will get the full manufacturer warranty:

Or $470ea shipped, get the Q700:

Or $350ea shipped, the Q500:
http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/KEFQ500CHY/KEF-Q500-Q-Series-5-1/4-inch-Cherry-Floorstanding-Speakers-Each/1.html

But for a little extra $$, I would get the Q900.
