#41 Vanatoo Transparent One Encore: $600 per pair Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Vanatoo Transparent One Encore Plus, ranked higher, rated 4.3/5.
Pros: Powered two-way pair with a 5.25 inch aluminum woofer, a rear passive radiator and a 1 inch aluminum dome tweeter, plus Bluetooth and a subwoofer output. Audio Science Review measured an even on-axis response (0.46 deviation) and listening window (0.40), with wide horizontal coverage of about ±65 degrees, for a preference score of 4.17 that rises to 6.54 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 41.0Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Bass reaches 51.3Hz (-6dB) and about 41.0Hz (-10dB), shallower than the newer Encore Plus, and the predicted in-room response is only moderately smooth (0.53). Replaced by the Transparent One Encore Plus, which measures better. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Vanatoo Transparent Zero Plus - $100 cheaper. Just below it: KRK Rokit 5 G5 - $401 cheaper.
