Seablade - my Google search always defaults to UK sites so I had real problems trying to
find Soundking speakers in the US. Those Harbingers were the only ones I could find but
I'm really surprised that some enterpreneur hasn't imported their better quality models
into the US. They're available under at least 5 brand names in Europe (Soundking now own
the Carlsbro and Studiomaster brands) and they have a good reputation for value for money.
Spares are also easily available for them. Just about all the budget Chinese speakers I've
heard have been better than the budget US made speakers that I've heard.
And,
as I said, there has been no mention of mics and stands so no need to fit them into the
budget.
