    Under 2 bones I guess. Something along the lines of an RT55, RTIA3, maybe something from Paradigm, Totem, or the likes. Definitely not a mini monitor style.

    Did you meet up with your bookie(s) yet, @tonyb?

    Now -- you're gonna laugh, but I am giving these little Asian junkboxes another listen and I am actually a little bit amazed by how pleasant they are. And they're on sale again, too!

    Now, I'm not sayin' you know -- I am just sayin'.

    Those Daytons perform well above their price. I have 4 of them in my shop driven by and old Adcom GFA-535.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    Thanks Doc, but I have a feeling those might be a bit light in the loafers for what the wife jams to.

    Was going to offer some Rti6's, we have 2 pairs, but not sure at what price, they are flawless, but honestly in the original box, QUITE heavy to ship.

    Shipping would kill any good deal.

    Tony, I have a pair of the Pioneer SP-BS22. The Andrew Jones ones. I got them from Skip and never really used them. They are sitting in the closet now. In good shape but I do not have boxes but sure I could come up with something.

    You can have them for next to nothing. Let me know if you would like to discuss.

    That's why I said the 7 or 9's LOL How about powered JBL 308. 8" woofers on them.

    appreciate that bro, but honestly I don't think they can pump out the SPL's she's going to play at.

    I dunno man, might be a bit screechy on the top end. Maybe some old Polk RT35's, RT55's, so when she blows them up the loss isn't much. Def tech monitors, Paradigm, along those lines.

    I checked the closet - Rainmakers are in there but they are mighty hard to let go of and sounds like you need more umph anyway

    These are fairly local to me. A very stout bookshelf speaker, with a nice sound...

    thanks bro, but those don't dip very low, 85 hz ? Few bucks more and I can snag the S2O's.

    LOL, thanks Joe, yeah....sticky fingers on the volume dial. I had a pair of Tad 803's for her to bang on and they've taken their fair share of abuse and held up well over the years. Now though, one tweeter is on the way out. Think I paid like 100 bucks new for the set way back when. Can't complain about the use I've gotten out of them and the price paid.

    Those M&Ks are extremely clean and musical speakers, great imaging and solid resolution. But they are satellites, intended, as most M&K speakers, to be utilized with a sub. Thus I don't think they will do what Tony wants...

    These would be perfect, maybe he would take less??? Very balanced speakers with a great tweeter for the price. And really decent bass extension...
