I need some cheap but good sounding bookshelf speakers.

The iGrados are iffy. The SR80s are much better.

Try listening to both sets of speakers. The NSB-2111s are good for the money, and with a bit of crossover tweaking, get even better.

I did end up getting the SR-80s and will probably get the cheap-o Pioneers when I get a few more dollars. Yes, I am that broke.

Well, I had the smaller Pioneers for about a month, made my mind, returned them.
Got the Polk R150 and am proud of my purchase.

w00t. WAY more bass and clean bass too, the Pioneers didn't go as low and the bass from them couldn't escape fast enough and the bass (little there was) seemed stuck in the box and couldn't escape fast enough.

One of the speakers did come with a grille that had the PolkAudio insignia upside down though, e-mailed them, hope to get a new grille.
Old one was "plastic welded", not a sticker.
