Around the $250 or so range for your friend:
Axiom M3ti
Paradigm Titan
B&W DM 303
nOrh 4.0 (used)

Jan 18, 2002 9:10 AM | | I agree with you that this person should avoid those speakers as they
are most likely manufactured by the same company that produces the other
''white van'' brands.
But I just wanted to point out that ''most'' speaker cabinents are
made from ''particle board'' aka MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) even
most of the highest priced speakers out there use MDF in the core due
to it's ''dead'' resonant qualities. Hard woods are rarely ever used
the whole way through a cabinent because they resonante so badly. |

Jan 18, 2002 2:06 PM | | You are mostly right, but there is quite a difference in grade and price between what's commonly known as "particle board" vs. MDF.
Particle board is that large-grained wood shred Elmer's Glue infested junk. |

Jan 18, 2002 4:29 PM | | Yes I agree with you that heavy flake particle board is very diffrent
than Medium Density Fiberboard and the prices are drasticly diffrent.
Even if those cheap ''white van'' speakers use MDF there are still
varying grades and thickness of MDF and they would most likely use
the thinest MDF possible. |
