As had been said you're better off with a pair of well looked after second hand speakers. For £200 you'd get some decent speakers. I'd add Castle and Monitor Audio to the list of brands above. They are very different sounding, Castle are laid back while Monitor Audio are more up front and bright, but to some ultimately fatiguing. If you like to get home, open a bottle of red and sit back listening to 50s jazz go with Castle. If you want to jump around to rock or dance, go with MA. Ok it's not that simple but that's a good starting point, if you can hear them first to get an idea it will help, but ultimately it's how they sound in your room with your system that matters.
Some sound advice there, Rob.
As Lawrence says, we're not being snooty about your plans, but buying an unknown product like that could be a costly mistake if they don't suit, and you'd probably lose most of your outlay if you tried to sell them on. Choosing 2nd hand from a known and respected manufacturer makes much more sense.
Looking at Auna 600 stats, I see that they are almost as big as my speakers, but less than half the weight. That might be significant.
In any case, let us know how you go on.
