Budget Speaker Suggestions

[kieron55]

I am looking at getting a hifi setup at the moment, nothing too crazy mainly just for playing my ipod and cds at a decent sound quality.

I am currently at uni and so the budget isnt the greatest. I have been looking around at amps and I am thinking of trying to pick something up along the lines of a Cambridge Audio A500rc.

The main thing I am unsure on is what speakers to go for. I had been thinking about some floorstanders as I get the impression that bookshelf speakers do not produce that much bass. I am not after stupid amount of bass, but I want a full sound.

I will be getting everything second hand, and I have been scouring ebay for any bargains, but the difficulty is that I don't know what is good. I've seen some Gale and Wharfedale at reasonable prices but they have been too far away. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what might be a good set of speakers to look for? Budget-wise, I know it isnt much but I could manage around £100 for them.

Rgee - Thanks for the link to the superfi website, I had tried to view their site before but it wasnt working. Anyway this time it was, and it turns out they have a store round the corner from my flat, so I went there to have a listen to some speakers.

Ended up with the set of wharfedale diamond 9.1 and also picked up a marantz pm7200. They sound great together. Im picking up so much that I had not been able to hear before. Just need to re-record my cds at lossless quality.

Thanks
