In Reply to: RE: Best bookshelf speakers under $150? posted by jaydacus on November 17, 2015 at 07:40:55
+2 on the Andrew Jones Pioneer's. My (11 year old) son has a pair in his room.
My son's are actually the C-22's, which are the Pioneer center channel speakers turned 90 degrees. They sound better than the bookshelf models, which he also has as his rear channel speakers.
You can find the for about $80 apiece/$160 per pair.

These come up all the time. Standouts are
L300 (very small, no bottom, but clean clean clean)
L400 L500 L600 series - increasingly full range
L700 & L800 series -- these are truly full-range, and will compete with anything; normally $400-600ish, but there is a pair of 710s on ebay that are about to go for under $300 which is a steal, and a pair of L715s at $170 with 2 days left.
All of these have sticky-dome tweeters which I love. Bottom end is always clean and fast; they just go deeper and louder as you get into the larger models. A/D/S was the U.S. company that made them under license from Braun in Germany. Always run them without grills.

Not hijack but can I ask a stupid question re ads speaker connections. What do you ads fans use . I find the push pin type on my ls300 very difficult to use as the are also recessed. Right now I'm using bare wire but I struggle ....
I replaced them with binding posts - pretty easy to do.

It's a tight fit, but works, at least if you can tolerate bananas. To use spades, you probably have to put the spades elsewhere on the back, and abandon the cut-out used for the original connectors.
