Hii veryone. Was ready to pull the trigger on the Rp 600M but when i read the review here it made me change my mind.

Any recommendations for sub 500-600 speakers?

Use this and filter. For example, under $300 (each) and Preference Score 5.0+

There's also this interactive list but it doesn't have as many speakers on it:

i'd risk a few extra $$'s on revel m16's or polk r200's.. strictly within budget : jbl 530 (i have them, they are a safe bet to not be offensive , but certainly aren't exciting, get them on sale though)... kef q150,emotiva b1+(i have Dennis Murphy modded version): they are probably the best option under $1000 with the mod (partially because of the msrp +mod is still $400-ish), they(modded version) are very much better than the 530's if a sub is part of the equation...edit: the b1+ mod is a diy at this point, it was a one off...
