#79 Tannoy Reveal 501a: $458 per pair Discontinued eBay
Pros: A compact active studio monitor from Tannoy with a 5” woofer and a 1” tweeter. Measurements show a preference score of 3.74 that reaches 5.47 with an ideal subwoofer, with 0.49 listening window deviation. Measured bass extension of 40.8Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The on-axis response is less even (0.76 average deviation). Tannoy discontinued it. Bass reaches 40.8Hz (-3dB) and about 33Hz (-10dB). That data is low quality.
How it compares: Just above it: AIYIMA S600 - $69 cheaper. Just below it: Midiplus MI5 II V2.
