#67 Ocean Way Audio HR5: $5,598 per pair Sweetwater eBay
Pros: The active format and substantial drivers can supply useful scale in a studio system. Measured -3dB extension is 52.7Hz, so separate bass support would be appropriate for full-range work.
Cons: Scores of 1.05 standalone and 3.12 with an ideal subwoofer reflect substantial response unevenness, including severe upper-treble irregularities. Narrowing high-frequency coverage further changes the balance across listening positions. Bass support cannot repair those midrange and treble problems, making this difficult to recommend for neutral monitoring.
How it compares: Just above it: PMC result6 - $501 more.
