#82 理性派HiFi X5: $284 per pair Discontinued eBay
Pros: A compact sealed two-way with a dome tweeter in a waveguide. Audio Science Review measured unusually wide horizontal dispersion (about 65 degrees), a smooth predicted in-room response and low distortion at normal listening levels, and its score rises from 3.56 to 6.55 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 90.8Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 82.2dB.
Cons: Discontinued; the brand now sells a different, active X5. Bass is thin without a subwoofer, down 3dB at 90.8Hz and 6dB at 71.8Hz. Audio Science Review heard an internal cabinet resonance make it sing on some music and did not recommend it, and low 82.2dB sensitivity calls for more amplifier power.
Is the 理性派HiFi X5 right for you?
Skip it if
- you have a low-power amplifier: 82 dB sensitivity needs more power to play loud.
- you will not add a subwoofer: bass rolls off below about 90 Hz.
- you want to buy it new: it is discontinued.

Frequency Response
How the 理性派HiFi X5 measures across the audible range. A flatter listening window (the sound arriving straight at you) is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. The estimated in-room response adds what a typical room does, and there a gentle, even tilt down toward the treble is ideal. Both curves are shifted so their 300 Hz to 3 kHz average sits at 0 dB.

EQ for a Neutral Response
No EQ preset: the best simple EQ we can fit to these measurements improves the predicted preference score by less than 0.2. The listening window is already close to flat, and what holds the score back, such as narrow ripple in the response or uneven output off-axis, is not something EQ can fix without making it worse elsewhere.
