Our friend with the $400 junk, obversely has no-idea, what he's talking
about or what good audio consists off.. Never mind he's probably very happy
in his own deluded little way.

I personnel would steer clear of Bose and a few of the cheaper brands,
Whatever you do decide on, ask to audition them with a choice of your music,
take a couple of C.D.s with you, [ Less and less retailers are equipped
these days for the Vinyl fan. ] Look for B & W, Nautilus, Whatmough, etc.
You should get something presentable for under a Grand, There's a great deal
of traded stuff, that can be had for a song, if you go to a Specialist
Audio Store. Most will allow you to audition in your own home,
and if they refuse, make for the door. But remember different room sizes,
furniture configurations will effect the sound.

Different speakers react differently in the home environment. To my way of
thinking, the heaver they are the better they will sound, and I make no
excuses for using spikes,.. Stuff the carpet

What are the best bookshelf speakers for under $400? The
speakers are to be used in a home environment for stereo
and TV.

I have heard good things about Bose speakers, and I know
that Yamaha NS-10M's are the standard for studio mix-downs.
However, I don't know whether either the Bose or the
NS-10M's are the best for under $400.

I would greatly appreciate all suggestions.

Thanks.

Get an entire kickass powered 5-channel system for $400. Blows
away any pair of wooden boxes you can buy for that price.
