    Warmest Powered Bookshelf Speakers under/around $500?

    Thanks for any quick recommendations. Further info: For a small, moderately sound treated room (10' x 20'). Live in a high humidity area with no AC (avg of 75%), so: internally powered. And I am trying to find the warmest, smoothest sound to be non-taxing for long listening.

    Sanyo ST-150 bookshelf speakers

    I purchased a clean pair of Sanyo ST-150 speakers at a yard sale for $2. I can't find much information on these speakers, but I'm suspecting they're probably from the 1980's and possibly came bundled with a stereo system. Compared to my Polk Monitor 40 Series II bookshelf speakers, these Sanyo...
