Amazon has the 1st gen JBL LSR305 speakers for $89 each:

Schiit also has B-Stock Jotunheims and Lyr 3s, both with and without DAC cards, that will work extremely well as pre-amps for the LSR 305:

Been waiting for EVER for Schiit to have the black Lyr3... Still no luck. Sigh.
(I do own a silver no-DAC Lyr3, but the black should look SO much better!!)

Monoprice has a sale on their Electrostatic Headphone at $350 w/ free shipping, this is the lowest price ever I think and includes the "amp". They were originally released at $700 then dropped to $630.

Few reviews but here is one, and there is a Head-Fi Thread which links to a Tyll video review which purports to provide his take several years before they were actually released.

But seriously folks, perhaps interesting to audition at $350

^ Unfortunately Fluance seems to be out of stock on all but their bottom two TT's.

Here's a couple of additional options for those looking for entry level TT's. They are Audio Advisor Pro-Ject demos.

If you can scratch up $314, you can get the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Turntable with the pre-mounted Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. You can do an instant upgrade by picking a a 2M Blue stylus--either now or later:

If all you have is $204, you can still get the very respectable Pro-Ject Essential III Turntable with the Ortofon OM 10 cartridge pre-mounted:

BTW--if you also need a phono pre-amp, you can also pickup the Pro-Ject Phono Box DC Phono Preamplifer - Demo - for $73:

They must've had like 1 left. Sorry about that. It did say it was limited stock.

i can't match $90 but I'd be willing to sell my X2HR for a decent price

Or you could get a very decent new car.

But know that this is cheap compared to shopping for upper tier speakers.
