Brand: PreSonus

#65 PreSonus Eris Studio 5: $299.98 per pair Amazon $149.99 eBay

Older models: the PreSonus Eris E5 XT (ranked lower, rated 3.5/5) and the PreSonus Eris E5 (ranked lower, rated 3.3/5). See every PreSonus Eris generation.

Same family: the PreSonus Eris Studio 4 (smaller bookshelf, ranked lower, estimated 3.4/5) and the PreSonus Eris Studio 8 (larger bookshelf, rated 3.9/5).

Pros: An inexpensive 5 inch studio monitor with a wide waveguide, front port, and balanced XLR and TRS inputs. A 5.25” woven composite woofer and 1” silk dome tweeter on a 120° x 60° EBM waveguide for a wide sweet spot. 80W Class AB bi-amplification rated to 102dB peak, a front-firing port, and balanced XLR and TRS plus unbalanced RCA inputs. PreSonus rates response at 48Hz to 20kHz.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. Sold individually, so a stereo pair costs twice the listed price.
