#3 Alcons Audio VR5 V1 eBay
Pros: High-quality vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 4.04 standalone and 7.06 with an ideal subwoofer, and predicted in-room smoothness is 0.73. The pro-ribbon high-frequency driver stays linear at any level, and the compact cabinet suits near-field and stage monitor duty. Measured bass extension of 80Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Bass reaches only about 80Hz (-3dB), and listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.408, so a subwoofer is needed for music. It is passive and priced by dealers well above ordinary compact monitors.
How it compares: Just above it: DAS Audio ARTEC 506A. Just below it: L-Acoustics X6i.
