#13 Pitt & Giblin Flare: A$12,760 per pair Pitt & Giblin eBay

Pros: Manufacturer measurements indicate a tight 1.1dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz and a 8.51 ideal-subwoofer score, promising natural vocal balance. Measured -3dB extension of 37Hz suggests useful standalone bass from this active system.

Cons: This is a substantial specialist system rather than an uncomplicated desktop purchase. Allow room for suitable placement and the complete active system.

How it compares: Just above it: Buchardt A10 - 50W less output power. Just below it: Adam Audio S2V - 100W more output power.
