#10 HiVi Swan X3: $249/pair eBay
Pros: Compact coaxial active monitors with unusually coherent point-source radiation. The local Spinorama snapshot scores 3.13 raw and 6.12 with a subwoofer, a strong sub-assisted result for a tiny desktop speaker.
Cons: Measured bass extension is only 71Hz and output is limited by the small driver. Analog connectivity is basic, and a subwoofer is important for full-range listening.
How it compares: Just above it: Audioengine A2+ - $30 more. Just below it: Fiio SP3 - $51 more.
