#16 Genelec G Two: $1,390 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay

Pros: A compact die-cast aluminum speaker built on the same drivers and waveguide as Genelec’s 8020 studio monitor, and it plugs straight into consumer gear through an RCA input. Spinorama measurements show the listening-window response holding within a 2.7dB span from 300Hz to 5kHz, and a smooth predicted in-room response (0.79 smoothness), so voices and instruments sound natural rather than colored. With a subwoofer, its measured preference score rises to 7.64. Rear tone switches let you adjust the bass and treble for desk or wall placement. Measured bass extension of 54Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Bass reaches only about 54Hz (-3dB) and fades by about 48Hz (-10dB), so it needs a subwoofer for full-range music or movies. On-axis response is less even than Genelec’s larger monitors (0.42 narrow-band deviation versus 0.23 for the 8030C), and its preference score without a sub is a modest 5.26. Output tops out around 100dB short-term, and there is no balanced XLR input or GLM room calibration like the studio models.

How it compares: Just above it: Vanatoo Transparent One Encore Plus - $5 more, 140W more output power. Just below it: IK Multimedia iLoud MTM MKII - $105 more.
