best pair of speakers under $120?

I am looking to get a pair of decent speakers for under $120. I have been looking at the Klipsch quintets and the Klipsch KSB1.1's. Are these any good? If someone knows of any other speakers for around this price that are decent that would be helpful too.

Well i got (am getting these for XMas) are the Kenwood JL558 3-Way Speaker system. I heard these at a freinds house and they work nicely with a 10 inch woofer built into the bottom of each tower. Right now they are roughly $200 Canadian and would work out roughly around your price range (assuming you are american)

Here they are.

I purchased a pair of Yamaha bookshelf speakers(3 way) for $45 each. I've been happy with the sound up to this point. Of course I say using other speakers in the same price range.

Of the speakers I listened to at the store they had the best sound for under $100. I can't remember the model # though. Best Buy or Circuit City carries them.

Where are you finding Klipsch for that price?

I think a pair of NHT SuperZeros are around $150, list. So you might want to look into those.

Consumer Reports consistently marks Yamaha speakers at that price range in the category of Best Buy, as in Best Value for the dollar. You should check them out. They usually start with the model code "NSA"
