#80 Behringer B2030P: $220 per pair Discontinued eBay
Pros: CEA2034 spinorama shows strong horizontal directivity control, keeping the response nearly constant off-axis through most of the audible spectrum, with a wide beamwidth that eases seating position and toe-in requirements. Distortion measurements hold up well against the pricier Revel M106 at both 86dB and 106dB SPL. With EQ to tame a resonance around 800Hz and a bit of a bass fill, the reviewer called it a “winner” that could play loud without bottoming out. Measured bass extension of 98.1Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 84.5dB.
Cons: A resonance around 800Hz shows up clearly in the on-axis response and the waterfall/CSD plot, and the flat, near-horizontal predicted in-room response makes it sound bright without an equalization target curve. Vertical directivity is only typical, not exceptional. Long discontinued: the reviewer noted you’ll have to hunt for a used pair.
How it compares: Just above it: JBL Studio 630 - $479 more, 1.3Hz lower bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: GoldenEar BRX - $530 more, 5.5Hz higher bass extension (-3dB).
