#19 M-Audio BX3: $89.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: Compact powered desktop speakers with balanced TRS, RCA and auxiliary inputs, headphone output and high/low EQ. The local snapshot reaches 4.56 with a subwoofer in a very inexpensive package.
Cons: The 1.42 raw preference score and 77Hz measured extension reveal significant tonal and bass limitations. Only one cabinet is amplified, output is modest, and there is no subwoofer output or digital input.
How it compares: Just above it: Mackie CR3-X - $11 more. Just below it: Midiplus MI3 II - $50 more.
