Home theater speakers under $300?

Looking for some front L and R speakers for under $300

 

Wall mountable

 

I don't have an amp yet since I figured I'd pick one out once I figured out what kind of power I need for the speakers.

 

Thanks

 

EDIT: 

I decided to go with the Jamo S 803 5.0 Home Cinema Speaker System. I got them on sale on Amazon for $169.  I then paired them with a Cerwin Vega CVT-200S 12in powered subwoofer all powered by a Yamaha RX-V6A I found locally on Facebook Marketplace for $200.  For a bedroom setup, I am very pleased!

You can also try to find used Infinity speakers.
You may find them fairly cheap and they are excellent speakers.


Here you can find my sound demo of the Infinity Alpha5 HCS II

There's not much reason to reply to old/dead threads - especially when the OP hasn't even signed in since June 1.

Although it'd be cool if they updated us with what they ended up purchasing.

Nice. Yeah the Jamo speakers are a really good budget value. And plus they look really nice.

I'm a bit late here. The Jamo 5.1 kit CAN be a not-bad deal if you just need ANYTHING and a ton of speaker. On sale, it's a lot of speakers for an OK price. I'd still try to get better stuff used at a similar cost. 
I'd generally avoid Jamo for the main L+R though.
