I'm thinking Bose but I got a couple negative replies when I mentioned Bose before.
Which Bose speakers were you thinking of? I happen to love my 301 series V, but Cambridge Soundworks sells their Model Six, also designed by Henry Kloss, that are inexpensive ($200 per pair), get good reviews, are brand new with warranty, and you get a generous home trial period to see if you like them. I've heard a pair and think they're very good (reminding me of the EPI 100's I used to own), but I've never heard a pair of KLH 6's as a point of comparison. The user manual linked to below has lots of information about their design and use.
