I know these are above you budget but the Athena AS-B1 would work well. They are $99 @ audioadvisor.

I think that price is for one speaker, not a pair.

What an effin' rip, although they got a really good review in Stereophile.

you read sterophile and you think a bookshelf speaker for $80 is a ripoff?

my current center channel speaker alone cost about $450, and a while back I was looking to upgrade to one that cost almost $900
yes for one speaker.

Some Circuit City's may have the Sony SS-K30ED...I have the floorstanding model which is mostly the same (has another woofer). Mine had one pair for $65.

No I just think advertising the price for each speaker is misleading when they probably wont let you buy one speaker alone.

The Athena AS-B1 is very well-reviewed as well....
