My son will leave for college soon. He would like to find some used
speakers that would be fairly portable. They "could" be bookshelf type, but
that is not a requirement.

His budget is in the $200 range. Again, he is willing to try used speakers
on ebay etc.

What are some reccommendations please ?? His music is (surprise ,
surprise) mostly rock, including some of the moderate rock stuff.

Is ebay a good place to look ??

Thanks for any reccommendations !!

I really like my Tannoy PBM6.5's. They're intended as nearfield studio
monitors but I find that they make great "hi-fi" speakers, too, and at
8" by 8" by 12.5" they are easily portable. I've got the original version,
but there is a "II" version as well.

Yes. There are currently three set of the originals and one of the "II"
listed. They have sold in the past in the $100 to $150 range.

Thanks for any reccommendations !!

You're melcome.

I want to thank all of the folks who have made suggestions in response to my
query on this subject. This is very helpful, and I say thanks for these
and other possible replies !!!

New Paradigm Atoms, and then a Paradigm sub for Christmas or an upgrade
next year. He'll have a little cash left over. Mini-monitors if he
could afford them, or used, are a great deal.
