#68 Adam Audio T8V: $719.98 per pair Amazon eBay

Smaller models: the Adam Audio T7V (ranked lower, rated 3.9/5) and the Adam Audio T5V (rated 4/5).

Pros: Measured -3dB extension of 39.6Hz gives useful bass depth for an affordable large monitor. Analog inputs and basic shelf controls offer uncomplicated studio integration. Measured bass extension of 39.6Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The 6.31 ideal-subwoofer score and 3.0dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz show less even tonal balance than stronger budget alternatives. Treble emphasis and crossover-region vertical cancellation make listening height important. Deep bass and an AMT tweeter do not by themselves imply accurate sound. A notch around 4.6kHz, where tweeter and woofer interact, and a hole below the tweeter axis mean the tweeter should sit at or above ear height.

How it compares: Just above it: Yamaha HS7 - $10 cheaper, 5W more output power. Just below it: Adam Audio T7V - $70 cheaper, 20W less output power.
