I need some decent quality speakers to run from my record player. I have some DT880's (600 ohm) and DT770's (80ohm) running from a Littledot MK3, but I want some speakers just so I can relax in my room, drink some beers and crank some Metallica/Dream Theater on vinyl.
 
You guys really helped me find my Beyer's, so your suggestions will be greatly appreciated here as well.
 
My set up: 
 
Rega RP-1 > Cambridge Audio 640p > littledot mk3.
 
My budget is anywhere between $50 and $200. 
 
I obviously want the best bang for the buck, but I understand unless I am dropping $500+ on speakers I wont get sound quality comparable to my DT880's (or maybe I will, I could be surprised). I just want something for casual listening but I dont want them to sound like crap.
