Here you go.
Doing a huge budget bookshelf speaker shoot out!
After talking to many on this forum it can be hard to pick a set of Bookshelves under $350 so rather than keep asking questions I ordered 7 (and now more) that I felt would be a good fit for building a 2.0 system. And instead of picking a winner I'm going to compare differences between each to hopefully help you make a more informed decision based on your sound preferences!
Qualifications for initially picking a speaker were:
Passive Bookshelf Speaker
Goes down to 50 hz or lower
$200-$350 (went a bit over w/ Wharfedale)
I've since added a few on request of others
The list of speakers and their prices are below. I'll be updating this forum over the next two weeks as I try them out. Each speaker has the price I paid, and the current MSRP next to them (a - if its the same)
Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 ($375/$450)
Elac B6 ($280/-)
Chane A1rx-c ($300/-)
Energy RC-10 ($330/-)
KEF Q100 ($300/$550)
Music Hall Marimba ($200/$350)
NHT SuperOne ($300/$360)
Wharfedale Diamond 220 ($350/-)
HTD Level THREE ($320/-)
Philharmonic AA ($195/-)
Wave Crest HVL-1 ($200/-)
EMP Tek R5Bi ($225/-) - Arrival TBD
DAC: Schiit Gungnir Multibit
Amp: NAD 316bee
Source: MacBook Pro using Tidal through Amarra sQ+
