I don't think you will get one soul on here that would reccomend home stereo speakers for DJ'ing. but for house parties....well, we would probably still reccomend DJ equipment!!!
For a full set-up including CD players and such, I don't know that you can build any kind of system OF QUALITY for less than $2500.00.

Like many have said already, you need to be more specific. You shouldn't use home stereo speakers because "they aren't meant for professional use." You can use them, but use them at your own risk.
It also LOOKS unprofessional to use home stereo speakers. I used them for a few gigs and hid them under my tables/skirts. These were high quality speakers though that pumped when they weren't even 3/4 volume. I was greeted by "relief" because my family member had not known about me at that time and I was greeted by.....
"Where you speaka's at?!?!"
I grinned and turned away.....Anyway... the only good thing that can come from stereo speakers besides price is the simplicity of hiding the eyesore. If you are looking for GREAT speakers that will make your neighbor your worst enemy (believe me....i did)...the look no futher.
Get the Logitech Z-5500's for some home speakers that can and definitely will rock the place you have your house party in. Don't use these professionally of course, but they will serve you well.
The only time i used these for DJing is for family and that is entirely different than if you are being paid.

Obviously not for Djing,
but awesome home speakers in my opinion are:
Polk Audio
any tower speakers from them are amazing.

Yep. My 5.1 set up is all Paradigm..... I knew Canada was good for something other that maple syrup.
I started way back with a set of Pioneer CS-99A 4 Way speakers with a Sansui Amp. I still have both at home and they sound great.
I have a pair of Cerwin Vega DX-9 in my classroom. Nice little thumper....but they would look retarded at a dance of any kind....

AAAAAA I'm ordering a set of canuck tops this friday. I hope Yorkie will send me some free maple syrup. Their syrup is out of this world.
I was going to say something about our Canadian beer, but I don't want to
get into that again. I also own all Paradigm for Home equiptment, but inexpensive????
Mind you I purchased My towers (8" Drivers) about 10 years ago, They were
not Cheap!!!!!!

What I meant by low cost is that in the audiophile world a speaker costing a $1000.00 is low cost. Check out speakers from Thiel and Martin-Logan and you'll see what I'm talking about. Paradigm makes some of the best sounding speakers for under a thousand a pair. But Paradigm is considerd to be more of a entry level company.
Yeah, that part had me scratching my head some.... I paid like $700 just for my sub.

I'm sure Paradigm makes a very nice $700 dollar sub. But its very much a entry level sub. By comparison the Velodyne DD-18 is around 5 grand. Thats what I was talking about. The price of real high end speakers can cost an arm and a leg and if you want the good stuff. It will cost you your first born as well, lol.
I'd love some Martin Logan CLS II series...
I currently have Infinity Reference II Series bookshelves.
I also HAD Infinity Reference I floor speakers.. the drivers were blown (bought it at a yard sale) so I had some Klipsch drivers laying around and put them in...
BEAUTIFUL SOUND.

I have two incredible little book shelf CV's powered by a antique Yamaha receiver and multi disc CD player and a mp3 player hooked up along with a Mini Disc unit. Sounds great unless I throw a party. Then I bring out the fun stuff.
