Does anybody have a recommendation for a good speaker that can be added on
to a modest stereo system?  I am looking for cheap (< $300 a pair) and I
have no problem with a plain old 2-way reflex speaker.  I have seen and
heard Bose 201's and they were nothing special, but the price was good ($160
a pair).  I saw an ad for a pair of Polk speakers (the ad said 'monitors'),
model 4A I think.  The price said $79 each which would be very good.  I know
Polks have a good reputation and there are many out there who like them, but
I have never auditioned them.  Before I do go out and check them out, could
someone confirm that price?  I find it hard to believe that a speaker with
that reputation has a model that cheap.  Of course, I have never heard them
so that price may be well justified.  Any other suggestions or comments on
Polk speakers are welcome.
