Re: Front speakers for under $300
Ryan, you will do better to do some reading. Your basic question has been asked at least 1,000 times before and I suspect members are tired of trying to answer it. So, look through the forum and you will find answers to even more questions than you have thought of.

Well, since you've already "went with" them, our opinion would seem irrelevant. If you like them that's what matters. As far as finding good front speakers, you need to up the budget. Think $300 a speaker or more, not $300 a pair.

Re: Front speakers for under $300
KLH is almost as far from "Top of the Line" as you can get, but it depends a little on what era they are. There was a time around 30 years ago when KLH made some decent speakers, but most likely they're newer and in in Cerwin Vega territory. $150 is probably high even if they were new, without really knowing specifically what they are.

Re: Front speakers for under $300
I think you can get some pretty good speakers for $300 a pair. Fry's had the Infinity Primus P362's on sale for a day last week for $99 each. O.K so they aren't Egglestons but they're pretty good for the price. And Beta 20's can be had on Harmans eBay store for well under $300 shipped. TigerDirect and CompUSA.com have them for $220 a pair shipped but I'm not sure of there return and warranty policies. It's not just what to buy but where to look. Vanns, OneCall, SaturdayAudio, Ac4l, even Fry's has real good deals on closeout and returned speakers etc. Check CraigsList and Audiogon for used speakers. With that budget you have to be flexible but you can still get some pretty good speakers if you look around. As for the KLH's, most likely you didn't look around long enough

I've never heard the Boston 450's but I've read good things about them.
Sell the Bose. 'Nuff said.

You already said you bought some Bose, so yes.
Your games aren't exactly in line with receiving reliable advice, or encouraging informed people to respond. Why would anyone with anything worth saying want to take the time to respond now?

No problem, RYAN.
