Check out the *new* line of ADS speakers, if you can.
I recently bought a pair of 880's, and I think they are pretty darn
good for the money. When I went to the local shop carrying these
things, the first ones turned on were the bottom of the line,
little bookshelf-sized jobs (480s, I think). They were astounding
at a list price of 169$ each. I found the 880s sounded noticably
better to me than the 780s, so paid the little bit more.
I picked the 880 over: Genesis 210, Polk 10B, Polk SDA-2, B&W-14,
Ohm Walsh 2, and some others that I can't remember.
These new speaks have been advertised a bit in the rags over the
last few months. What I find most impressive with them is their
clarity. For example, on jazz stuff (e.g. Weather Report), background
percussion instruments would stand out more clearly than on other
speakers. I think because of their clarity, imaging is very good.
