#43 Palmer STUDIMON 5: $175 each Thomann eBay

Pros: The available third-party measurements predict 2.69 standalone and 5.58 with an ideal subwoofer. Balanced inputs and a conventional compact monitor cabinet make it straightforward to use with studio equipment. The broad response trend is approximately level rather than strongly bright or dark.

Cons: The trace spans 4.0dB from 300Hz to 5kHz and estimates -3dB bass around 80Hz, with local irregularities despite the level overall trend. There are no room-EQ controls to address broad placement errors, and the available score does not establish clean output.

How it compares: Just above it: Adam Audio A4V - $425 more. Just below it: Presonus Eris E5 XT - $55 cheaper.
