#48 Polk T50: $249.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: Pretty deep bass for the price. Distortion at 86dB SPL/1m is reasonably controlled outside a narrow spike around 250Hz. The reviewer notes performance is “not too bad for a budget speaker” once the two main tonal issues are addressed with EQ.
Cons: 5dB peak at 1khz, 4dB bright top end from 11khz on up. Just okay vertical off axis. Impedance and phase show several resonances between 200Hz-1kHz, with a minimum impedance of 4.2 ohms. Distortion rises substantially at 96dB SPL/1m across the midrange, with repeated peaks between 100Hz-2kHz.
How it compares: Just above it: Klipsch RP-6000F II - $1251 more, 3.7Hz higher bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: Focal Aria Evo X N°2 - $2150 more, 1.9Hz higher bass extension (-3dB).
