Q Acoustics is running a huge sale on speakers – save a bundle for the holidays!

Q Acoustics 3030i was $549 now $466 at Amazon
The 3030i passive stereo speaker pair boast an excellent build and finish plus an expressive, insightful listen. This two-way design also offers a remarkably low 46Hz response for punchy, controlled bass in a bookshelf design. The deal applies to all finishes (Graphite Gray, Arctic White, Carbon Black, or English Walnut, pictured) and while competition may be fierce, for this money they're a solid bargain.

At the time of writing, the English walnut option isn't available – but the other three colorways (white, gray, and black) are! The slightly more bijou 3020i from Q Acoustics sport a 5" bass driver and a 0.9" tweeter per speaker and a sound that once again boasts robust bass and agile dynamics. While quite narrow, take note that the cabinets are relatively deep and I wouldn't recommend putting them on an actual bookshelf – the reflex port is around the back and while they're not especially fussy when it comes to placement, I'd still give them a little room to operate. 

Q Acoustics 3010i was $329 now $279 at Amazon
Again, you're getting a two-way bass reflex enclosure type passive speaker, this time with a slightly smaller 4" Bass Driver and 0.9" tweeter – plus a tidy $50 discount. The low end is going to lack the scale and dynamic reach of some of Q Acoustics' larger options, but for well under $300, there's still an awful lot to like.
