Best Budget Speakers Around $60.00

happy · Sep 11, 2012

Hi guys,
So I am going to buy some new speakers for my 2.1 HT setup. I know that speakers are subjective, from person to person. But I just wanted to know which speakers are the best in your opinions that is under $60 shipped.
Here are the speakers I have found:
-Monoprice 3 way speakers
-Dayton B652

Are there any others around the $60 dollars price range?

In that price range it's a crap shoot, some sound golden but most sound like crap! Seriously, you should read a lot of reviews to make sure you don't end up with speakers that sound horrible Me, I was lucky enough to get 4 of my brother's hand-me-down Boston Acoustics Micro90X speakers, and they rock! Look on eBay for Boston speakers, I've seen them used for as low as $60/pair (but the risk is getting blown up speakers). Just a thought, because I don't think you'll be happy with many $60 speakers off the shelf. Good luck!

If you can find some x-540s for that price (perhaps second hand) they are really good value.

edit: below looks better if you don't need surround. But it's cool!

if you go refurb you could get z623's like mine for $79.99. regularly they are $160. Refurbs should always be considered from respectable brands as they can offer superior value for the discounted price
