Bookshelves from USA

[Onri]

What are you going to place the bookshelves on?
In case you are thinking of buying stands then you may end up paying (spk + stand) as much as a floorstander.

True that. Though it is not the money i am concerned much about. It is the space in my living room and also the fact that i have a toddler at home to fiddle with my equipment. So staying away from floorstanders.
With bookshelves i am planning to create couple of wooden shelves a little above my TV.

For purchases from abroad and that too for refurbished/used ones, I would be hesitant to spend much. So capped my budget to 300USD.

Martin Logan Motion 4i's are good. You can find them for 300$ a pair.

But pushing it a bit further (by another $100) will get you very good speakers which will last a lifetime and make you happy every time you listen to them. Value for money is most when you get it from there, especially pre-owned or refurbished.

If placed on wooden shelves close to the wall then you may require front ported speakers

Klipschs are much brighter sounding that Jamos. I don't recollect the sound signature of Elacs, so can't comment on that.

 

[Mayank Shah]

Elac, esp the Debit series are very bass heavy. For around 400 USD, buying blind, get the best Polk you can. Great for movies and music and most importantly works really well with just about any decent AVR or amp. Some speakers require certain gear for them to shine in all their glory. With Polk's you can't go wrong. IMHO, they are the most under rated speakers of all.

Klipsch R 41M available at 90 for a pair.

Confused between Jamo s803 and Klipsch R41M!! Pls help.

 

[Onri]

I ended up buying Jamo s803 ($117) and Polk TL1 satellite speakers ($70) for rears.
Thank you all for you help!

Good pick, make sure to drive them with at least 50wpc amp. Enjoy

Now I will continue building my HT with purchases from here in India. First up is the amp. I don't have much knowledge on amps. Though I dont intend to use high volumes on my HT as loud sounds are a taboo in my society. Nonetheless i feel bare minimum is essential. I mostly intend to go for either Denon or Marantz as I have read that these are well known brands in receivers.

If your budget permits, go for Marantz 6014 or Denon x3600 which have preouts. Then later on, add a decent sub like SVS or Rythmik.
