#22 Audioengine HD3: $359.00 per pair Amazon eBay

Pros: A compact desktop stereo option when cabinet size is a priority. Measured bass extension of 65Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Limited bass makes a subwoofer useful for fuller music reproduction. Its compact format is better suited to close listening than filling a large room.

How it compares: Just above it: Monoprice Monolith MM-3 - $59 cheaper, 20W more output power. Just below it: Bose Companion 2 Series III - $159 cheaper.
