#23 Yamaha VXS3F: $284 per pair eBay

Same family: the Yamaha VXS5 (larger model, ranked higher, rated 3/5).

Pros: A tiny full-range surface-mount speaker for commercial background music. Yamaha’s measurements show a preference score of 0.1 that reaches 4.71 with an ideal subwoofer, with 0.65 listening window deviation.

Cons: Bass is very limited, so it needs a subwoofer, and the on-axis response is very uneven (3.13 average deviation). The data comes from Yamaha. Bass reaches 218.0Hz (-3dB) and about 137Hz (-10dB).

How it compares: Just above it: Electro-Voice EVID-S8.2 - $425 more. Just below it: Yamaha VXL1-8 - $161 more.
