#89 Micca MB42X Mark III: $99.99 per pair Amazon eBay

Newer model: the Micca MB42X G2, ranked higher, rated 3.6/5.

Pros: A very inexpensive, compact 4-inch passive pair with a real crossover and removable grilles. Erin’s data predicts a respectable 6.27 preference score when crossed to a subwoofer, low 0.099 on-axis roughness and broad horizontal coverage. Measured bass extension of 101.6Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Bass extension is limited to about 81Hz in-room and the response rises steeply at +0.81dB per octave, so it can sound bright without EQ. The measurement’s provenance is not fully documented, sensitivity is low, and output is limited by the small woofer.
