Hi guys, First post

Its a small budget I know

I've got some Tannoy MX3 floorstanders now (they were about £80 second hand) so Im sure you could recommend something like that perhaps?

I was very impressed with the quality for £80 so for what I need, £100 should be enough.

Can purchase new or second hand!

thanks a lot

i would recommend THESE, i have a pair and they are very good and extremely noisy when needs be :devil:

worth the extra £50 :thumbsup:
 
First ones aren't magnetically shielded

Second ones are out of my budget by 50%

£100 was the top end kinda,

You could also link to for sale posts if you know anything good in particular

Do you NEED magnetically shielded speakers then??

Yes, they will be in close proximity to the pc and a TV

thanks

I think you will be very limited for choice then with real floorstanders I'm afraid.

How close can you place them to sensitive equipment?

Whats the minimum distance? is there like a limit?

What type of TV do you have?
 
With a CRT monitor/tv I'd say the closest you should risk is about one foot.
With LCD is doesn't matter.

I have a pair of Gale 3030s,with the matching 3050 Centre for sale £90 here
Very good budget floorstanders,in my opinion,and others.The thread has pics and reviews.
 
Out of interest, why do they have to be floorstanding speakers?

I'd definitely be looking in the second hand market for your kind of budget, some old Mission speakers or something like that shouldn't be too hard to track down and would sound very nice indeed for the money. :)
