#24 JBL LSR305: $299.98 per pair Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the JBL 305P MKII, ranked higher, rated 4.3/5.
Pros: A budget bi-amplified studio monitor with a 5” woofer, a 1” soft dome tweeter in JBL’s Image Control Waveguide and 41W per driver. The only Spinorama data shows low on-axis deviation (0.26), a smooth predicted in-room response (0.88) and bass to 48.3Hz (-3dB), for a preference score of 5.98 that reaches 8.12 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 48.3Hz (-3dB).
Cons: That data is low quality, digitized from a third-party chart, so the details are less certain than a full measurement. JBL replaced it with the 305P MkII. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Kali Audio IN-5 - $199 more, 2W less output power. Just below it: Thomann Swissonic A305 - $70 more, 2W less output power.
