#93 Dayton Audio C452-AIR: $33 each Discontinued Estimated eBay
Matching speakers: the Dayton Audio B452-AIR (estimated 3/5) and the Dayton Audio B652-AIR (rated 1.3/5).
Pros: A budget center channel with two 4.5” polypropylene woofers and a 1” AMT tweeter.
Cons: Audioholics’ measurements stop at 200Hz, so it has no preference score; the rating is estimated from that data and Dayton’s measured budget speakers. Dayton rates the bass only to 85Hz. Dayton replaced its AIR line with the Classic series. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Phase Technology PC3.5 - $1770 more. Just below it: Emotiva Airmotiv C2+ - $466 more.
