I’ve had great luck with speakers hitting local pawn shops. I live near an Air Force base and a Navy base and it seems like when those folks get transfered, it happens quick, and they pawn some really great stuff. I scored a set of powered Audio Engine monitors for $150 and an older pair of JBL studio reference monitors for $75. That said, be careful with receivers/amps, especially if they are cheap cheap. Also test each output before you leave the store. Got a little burned on an older Onkyo that only 2 of the 7 outputs worked… One of the shops here offers a 7 day return for $20 extra and I ALWAYS get it.

“now, I’m no expert…”

We see that.
