Pros: Small sealed budget bookshelf speakers that are easy to place near a wall, a fit for small rooms or setups with a subwoofer. A small sealed two-way with a 4-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter that measures more evenly than its low price suggests. Erin’s Audio Corner found the listening window within a 2.5dB span from 300Hz to 5kHz and a predicted in-room response smoothness of 0.60, for a preference score of 4.29 (6.57 with an ideal subwoofer). Bass reaches about 54Hz (-3dB) and 47Hz (-10dB), and the sealed box makes it easy to place near a wall. Measured bass extension of 54.2Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The sealed 4-inch woofer limits output and deep bass, so it suits small rooms or pairing with a subwoofer. Sensitivity is a modest 84.5dB. It is discontinued and mostly found used.
