I know this is kind of a stupid question, but I'm in the market for some relatively inexpensive speakers (< $500).
I did a little research a while ago (basically just googling the thread topic) and looking back the only thing bookmarked are the ELAC Debut B6 speakers. Not sure exactly why that is.
I do have the Monoprice Hybrid Tube Amp if the speakers need power. This was an impulse buy and probably kind of stupid, but I still have it, so whatever. The headphone out is noisy as all hell and has a big issue with the volume knob when turned. Haven't tried it with speakers; I hope it's just a headphone jack issue.
I'm not really an audiophile, but I do have a pair of Beyer DT 770s that I really like the sonic signature of if that helps at all.
