#38 Onkyo GX-30ARC: $349/pair Onkyo eBay

Pros: HDMI ARC, USB-C, optical and analog inputs make it a convenient compact system for a desk or TV. Erin’s Klippel data gives a 2.82 standalone preference score and 5.55 with an ideal subwoofer. The midrange response spans 3.8dB, offering usable but not reference-level tonal performance.

Cons: The response rises toward the treble by about 0.48dB per octave. Bass reaches -3dB around 74Hz, not the lower LFX value used inside the preference model. Vertical listening position affects crossover balance. Its extensive connectivity does not compensate for response irregularities, and the published tonal data alone does not establish maximum clean output.

How it compares: Just above it: Dayton Audio M4 - $99 cheaper. Just below it: Kanto YU - $1 more.
