my wife has an onkyo receiver tx 906...and wants a pair of bookshelf speakers. they can be up to 7 1/2" wide.
she presently has an old pair of floor model HK speakers from an old all in one system.
one stereo shop i called has paradigm atom for $200
another has polk 30...same price
can you recomend any others or are these ok...
i'd prefer to stay in the less than $200 price range
thanks...Dave

You can try the Aperion Intimus 422-LR. A set of A-stock will cost about $180 shipped.

the paradigm atom will be a better bet than the aperion if you don't want to use a sub. They can be used alone for casual listening to my ears.

Wharfedale Diamond 8.2s from buy.com

Wharfdales are bigger than the size he specified.

Can't find much info on the Atom on the Paradigm website.

I would also recommend the Monitor Audio R90. They work very well without a sub, but you would have to go to the $300 range for them.

take it from someone that HAS the atoms (ie: myself) that they work very well for casual listening without a subwoofer.
