#60 KRK Classic 5: $319.99 per pair Amazon eBay

Pros: ASR’s Klippel data gives -3dB bass around 60Hz and a 5.99 preference score with an ideal subwoofer. Broad tonal correction can improve it, so it may be useful to someone willing to measure and EQ a basic studio setup. Measured bass extension of 60.1Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The native standalone score is 3.47 and the midrange span is a large 6.5dB. Excess treble and crossover/directivity errors keep it from being neutral out of the box, while low-bass distortion limits loud playback. Modeled EQ scores are not stock performance and do not demonstrate corrected distortion or dispersion.

How it compares: Just above it: Edifier MR4 - $191 cheaper, 8W less output power. Just below it: M-Audio BX4 D3 - $171 cheaper, 70W more output power.
