Hi, all.  I'm looking at upgrading my audio system and would like to solicit
some speaker suggestions from those on the net.  I've read previous speaker
discussions with interest, but unfortunately they covered speakers which are
out of my limited price range.

I'm looking at spending around $600 for the pair.  So far, I've listened to:
B&W DM220's, Magneplanar SMGA's, Vandersteen 1B's, ADS 780's, and KEF
Carlton's.  Of these, I prefer the Vandersteen's, which I suppose (without any
real information) are the baby brothers of the 2C's which have been mentioned
in previous messages.  I would be very interested in hearing about any other
speakers in this price range that I should listen to (or whether I should
bag new speakers and just get a CD -- seriously!).

If it makes any difference, my current system is:

	NAD 1020 Preamp
	NAD 2140 Power Amp
	NAD 4150 Tuner
	Denon DP1250 turntable with
		Infinity Black Widow tone arm
		Grace F9E cartridge
	Nakamichi LX-5 cassette deck
	Polk Audio 5 speakers.

			Thanks,
				Elgin Lee
