#14 Monitor Audio Silver 50 7G: $799 per pair Crutchfield eBay

Pros: The 7th generation C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter with UD Waveguide II and RST II mid bass driver produce a listening window smoothness score of 0.50 at an accessible price, earning a Hi-Fi News Outstanding Product Award. A HiVe II reflex port system is tuned to 58Hz for real bass weight from a compact 5.25 inch two way. Measured bass extension of 87.9Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The on axis response trends noticeably upward toward the treble (rising about 0.5dB per octave, a steep tilt), which can read as bright on already bright recordings. Off axis sound also tracks the on axis response less consistently than most speakers here. Bass extension is limited to a measured 87.9Hz at -3dB, so a subwoofer is recommended for full range use, and minimum impedance dips to 3.9 ohms at 250Hz.

How it compares: Just above it: Revel M105 - $701 more, 1Hz lower bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: Arendal Sound 1961 Bookshelf - $101 more, 2Hz lower bass extension (-3dB).
