Look at the review on the Wharfedale Diamond speakers for $199. Then you still have money for food and beer.
At least when you get hungry you can listen to music I guess... better watch the power bill though.this is my last $600 to my name
Just the facts…
I'm so glad you showed up to dazzle us with your tale.When I went to college, the 1st thing I did was took my financial aid and used it for a down payment on a house and then got three roommates to pay the mortgage and left a bit over to pay tuition... lol
I would take out five figures of credit card debt and buy the Dutch & Dutch 8Cs.Seriously, save you money. Pay your bills. Speakers can wait. I am surprised by how many of you are like, buy this...buy that...Really?
This is the way to go, for sure!I would take out five figures of credit card debt and buy the Dutch & Dutch 8Cs.

This is Audio Science Review, not Financial Science Review.Yes this is great advice!
I am pretty sure he don't really have only $600 left and wanted to spend on speakers instead of food or paying rent, just his budget is $600 and don't want suggestions to go higher up stuffsSeriously, save your money.

Thank you ! It was just a little hyperbole. Yes passives are gonna be a necessity. I’ve never really spent “good money” on speakers so I was trying to take a ride on the wild side and get something nice around that 600 figure.I am pretty sure he don't really have only $600 left and wanted to spend on speakers instead of food or paying rent, just his budget is $600 and don't want suggestions to go higher up stuffs
but back to OP, is passives a must? coz from my very superficial observations here, in the budget end and especially if the room isn't that large needing high SPL at distance, active monitors provided better price/performance especially they've usually boosted the bass a bit and make it digs deep enough for great performance. For larger space with full range floor standers or the need for AVR integration for home theatre are where passives would be better in most cases
You certainly can get something nice within that budget.Thank you ! It was just a little hyperbole. Yes passives are gonna be a necessity. I’ve never really spent “good money” on speakers so I was trying to take a ride on the wild side and get something nice around that 600 figure.
Thank you for the reco I’ll check them out for sure.IMO the best deal out there is the old polk flagship bookshelf. LSIm 703. They sold for $1500 6 short years ago. They are a 3 way design. Sound great when supplied enough power. I have a pair in my office and love them. Best $400 I have ever spent. I would have been happy spending more than double that for this kind of quality.

In theory, yes a 3-way would catch my interest first…but like we learned, it’s the full recipe that makes or breaks the speaker, and the Elac UB52 is a broken design (according to Amir’s review).
