Bookshelf speakers for Yamaha RX-V457

[chase]

Hi,

I have a Yamaha RX-V 457 Av receiver and I'm looking for new bookshelf speakers. For the moment I'm using the speakers of my Philips FW-R7 stereo system and a DIY subwoofer.

Which speakers work well with Yamaha? I want to spend max. € 400 / pair. The room is about 5m x 7m. I mostly listen to pop, rock and dance.

Thanks for your advice.

Hans

Acoustic Energy 101 or Dali Zensor 3 or Monitor Audio B 2 or Polkaudio RTi 3

I have a couple of speakers in mind:

* JBL ARENA 130
* DALI ZENSOR 1
* DALI ZENSOR 3
* MONITOR AUDIO MR2
* MONITOR AUDIO BX2
* MONITOR AUDIO BRONZE 2
* POLK AUDIO TSx 220B‎
* WHARFEDALE DIAMOND 220
* YAMAHA NS-B330

Anyone has experience with one of those (maybe with a Yamaha receiver)?

I've been looking for some 2nd hand bookshelf speakers and I could buy those (price per pair):

* POLK AUDIO TSx 220B‎ (€ 120)

* MONITOR AUDIO BX2 (€ 250)

* DALI ZENSOR 3 (€ 290)

What would you do?

I have found that Monitor Audio Silver RX1 work well with the Yamaha RX-A1020. i think others also find that MA and Yamaha are a good match.
