Wanted: Bookshelves or towers for budget bedroom setup

[collegeaudio]

Looking for a pair of speakers for a budget bedroom setup. I've got a few pairs in mind but am always interested in what people are trying to get rid of.

Looking for under $150.

Thanks.

Wait for these to go on sale, though they are already under your price

Impressive reviews - not sure how I missed this model.

Any comparison to the old floorstanders for $130/pr, the SP-FS51's?

I've heard the FS51s in my own setup and I prefer the current models - the FS52 sounds significantly better, and I'd still choose the BS22 over the FS51. I bought a pair of FS51s to try out and ended up returning them. I've had my BS22s for over a year and still enjoy them.

These are highly reviewed as well. A little above budget, but even Dennis Murphy said he likes them:

If you have a microcenter near you, you can get the Pio 22's for $69.00 a pair. Call before you go to see if they are in stock.

Also, Craigslist if you haven't looked there

I don't think you are anywhere near Visalia, Ca. I could sell you a pair of Jamo S426 or a pair of Energy EF-500 for $150. For $300 I would sell you a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 70 II + a Polk Audio Monitor 25C. Or if you want the whole 7.0 set up for $500.

I have a pair of Axiom M3Ti's that I am no longer using. They have a light oak finish. Very nice looking. Used lightly only about a year or two. In like new condition in the original boxes. Bass is very good. Dialogue is really terrific. I used them with my TV set up at the time and they performed exceptionally well. Price is negotiable.
