#97 Dayton Audio MK442: $50 each Discontinued Estimated eBay
Matching speakers: the Dayton Audio MK402 (estimated 3.2/5), the Dayton Audio MK402X (rated 3.4/5) and the Dayton Audio MK602X (rated 2.4/5).
Pros: A budget center channel with two 4” treated paper woofers and a 3/4” silk dome tweeter, the center companion to the MK402.
Cons: Audioholics’ measurements stop at 200Hz, so it has no preference score; the rating is estimated from that data and the measured MK402X. Sensitivity is 86dB with a 4 ohm load. Dayton no longer sells it. Discontinued.
