i have an amp.. now i need a decent set of bookshelf speakers!

Thread Starter 
Ok so i bought an old Technics SU-A600 amp for around £50

40 RMS watts per channel, 8 ohms
rated power bandwith 20Hz - 20KHz
%THD and % rated SMPTE IM: 0.01
AA Class

ok those are some specs =S
I do have some Technics SB-10's that look really good but not listened to them yet, and i know that one tweeter is broke so i'm looking for new speakrers. My plan is to get quite good speakers and then maybe upgrade the amp at a later time (since i heard its best to go for expesive speakers/cheaper amp if on a budget)

I guess i would spend up to £150 (probably about $300) on some speakers but what sort of stuff should i be looking at? I listen to a lot of music really but probably a lot of dance and bassy music right now..

should i be looking at sensitivity ratings and frequency response ratings? or more to do with the size of the cone etc? any help would be cool thanks =D

I own Acculine A2's, which use a planar magnetic tweeter in a MTM arrangement. They are 350 a pair. The acculine A1's are the same thing except it's a MT arrangement. They are 250 a pair. Go to theaudioinsider.com to check out specs. I think they sound phenomenal for the price I paid.

Kanye West Has Accurately Perplexed It This Constantly

You know that saying, it takes a village to heighten a child?

Evidently, Kanye's village has failed him. He jagody na przyrost penisa, acai poprawia wielkosc penisa patently doesn't have a actual chum in the world. There does not manifest to be anyone who can stir past to him, to occasion him understand that he needs to check his obnoxious behavior.
