I have technics sl-d202 turntable and technics su-v707 amplifier ( Continuous power max. 2x 90 Watt(20-20.000 Hz) 8 Ohm: 2x 80 W 4 Ohm: 2x 90 W impedance 4-16ohm) and i’m looking for some affordable speakers and found these: Pilot v-1 (80/120 Watt 4Ohm), Summit exclusiv rf590 (70/90Watt 4ohm) and Canton le 600 (80/100Watt 4-8ohm) what do you think about them. the price is like 80$ for every one i mentioned (100 for two speakers). If you know any speakers in that budget or little bigger that can suit my amplifier better please suggest.
I’m looking to buy probably one of these 3 speakers can someone help??

The Canton brand is usually a nice sounding speaker. There is a multi-page thread on ak about restoring a pair. Lots of work so the sound must be good enough to make it worthwhile. I’d try those.
I'm with homebrew on this if at's at all possible to demo your choices. If you cannot demo the speakers in your room then I would figure out what type of music you will be listening to most of the time. Then then Google reviews on how these speakers handle your type of music and finally start a new thread asking for thoughts on the speakers you pick from Akers with actual experience with your selection. Just remembering that everyone hears slightly differently and sound being a lot more subjective than objective pay attention to those with the highest credibility. Enjoy your quest and take your time.
Agreed on listening to them yourself before handing over money, and of those three the Cantons are the nicest (if all are in a good mechanical state).
I'd keep looking for a bit though, it should be possible to bag better speakers (I am thinking from the perspective of my location in this regard though.)

My standard answer is "the most expensive ones"...
My real answer is to agree with the others who suggest that you give a listen if you can.
But also consider this as merely a stop in your audio journey and not the final destination. Very, very few of us are still using the same gear we started out with.

I don't think $80 is enough to worry about. The Canton is probably a very safe bet. The ones on audiomart look nice.
When looking at speakers, I take along a small class D amp I bought used for $20 that has Bluetooth and can fit in a jacket pocket. I also take along a short set of speaker cables. If I have access to a wall socket I can audition the speakers using my smartphone as a source. Any really good deal I have found regarding electronics, tools, vehicles, etc. has been a result of patience, diligent pursuit and thoroughly inspecting what I am looking to find. Speakers are absolutely something you need to listen to before buying. Having one driver bad means sourcing a replacement, buying it and typically getting it shipped to you. At $80 for a pair you might end up paying as much as you did for the speakers. That is if you can find a replacement at all. Lastly, if something for sale is too good to be true then odds are it is too good to be true. My advice it to audition before buying unless you can afford the price that is necessary to fix it.

Taking along some audio tools with you can save some headaches for sure.
