$100 or under?

Save money.

At that budget, you're limited to cheap HTIB's and things that will generally sound like ***.

Trust me, I know your situation //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Last year when I was in the dorms, I had a NAD 3020, two JBL 3way bookshelf speakers, a dbx 15-channel EQ, and an Adire Audio Rava...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Expanding your budget to $300 or so opens up a lot more options.

My room was pretty small...about the size of my current bedroom in the apartment //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

It got quite loud, heh //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well, go to...

http://www.madisound.com

http://www.partsexpress.com

http://www.creativesound.ca

Those three sites are gold mines //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

On the Creative Sound site, those FR125's do an excellent job for $150 a pair. Good front/satellite speakers. No crossover means you save money //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

No problem //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

I'm planning a project myself for my living room system - two 3" full range towers. Yeah, I'm not expecting much low bass with only 3" drivers, but I'm horn-loading them to maximize whatever's there. The magic comes in the enclosure...and the drivers are only $25 each //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
