I'm currently looking for a good pair of book shelf speakers or computers speakers in the $500 price range.
Any recommendations besides the obvious search results on google etc.

klipsch makes some mighty fine bookshelf speakers. For $500 I imagine you could get a really good 2.1 setup, or a pair of really nice reference bookshelf speakers. Although you probably want a decent head unit if you go that route.

My friend has an older variant of these speakers. He has them mounted to weighted-bottom pillars to minimize vibration and is powering them with an onkyo reciever. The frequency on these things is fucking phenomenal and they are capable of an incredible mid-to-component level sound.
They have a $400 pair on their site too. Look around. Klipsch makes killer stuff.

+1 for the Klipsch.
I have a pair of these bought from the UK (£250) but I think they're available all over. Sitting on very solid bookshelves and run by a Rotel stereo amp. My email notification ping has never sounded as good.

An audiophile friend (Linn nutter) has a pair of B&W MM1s and they sound incredible, and are made for compooters. But they'll probably be at the top end of your budget...
- Thanks MrT I was actually looking at the MM1s they are $499 thanks for the infohektor911

- I was told these are really nice!hektor911
- They ARE. I have a pair of the smaller A2s and they blow my mind! These are amazing. Truly flat-response too.monospaced

I got a pair of scratched up Alesis Monitor One's at a musicians garage sale and they're great....
(new, not mine)
... the Monitor One Mark II is supposed to be better...
the matched Alesis RA-100 amp is great I hear, wish I had one, I've got an old Marantz that's getting flaky, may be getting this soon.... they're cheap!
- I sold a pair of those old Monitor Ones and got a pair of new ones. The old ones aren't magnetically shielded.monospaced

Hey mono I decided to for the Audioengine A5+
Thanks for the recommendations!- I'm so jealous! If they're even 1/2 as quality as the A2s, you're gonna be blown away.monospaced
