Need Bookshelf Speakers

[cw42]

College student looking for a PAIR of bookshelf speakers for 50-150$ range. I don't really know any good models that would fit my needs.

- Casual listener
- Used mainly for hard thumping music, and movies.
- 50-150$ price range

Something like this but I really prefer the infinity's, polks, Klipschs to the ARs, KLH and Bose.

Cheapest quality one that first comes into my mind is the Polk R15...can be had for less than 100 bux/pair
