Does anyone have recommendations for speakers at the lower end of the market (£60-£100). They'll be going in a room approximately 4.5x4m and used for music (spotify and a low end turntable) and films.

The amp I have is a Yamaha AX-396 (http://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/yamaha/ax-396.shtml).

Not in a huge rush for them so happy to wait for an ebay bargain. Am I right in thinking I should go second hand?

Sorry if this has been asked before (I'm sure it has), I had a search but couldn't find much in the way of recommendations for second hand/older speakers.

So much choice if you go second hand. A pair of wharfedale diamonds would be a safe bet:

Good shout. I had some Diamond 8s, then 9.1s - both really great speakers for not much money. For under £100 also look at the older Q Acoustics 2020i, which are also compact if space is a limiting factor.
