What budget speakers you like to see reviewed?

Martin Logan Motion Foundation, bookshelf and center. Looks to be about as budget as you can get for a premium(ish) speaker

The Martin Logan Motion B10, the more expensive analogue of the Foundation B2, was reviewed last August on a site that also uses the Klippel. Google is your friend....

tl;dr version: They were pretty awful.
 
Amir's B10 review.

 
I wish ASR could featured more french manufacturers besides Focal.
Cabasse, Elipson, Triangle Hifi, Davis Acoustics, all produce lovely small speakers.
I don't know how well they are distributed outside Europe.
If this helps: Distribution: Having lived in many places in the USA & Western Pacific (think 'Ring of Fire), the only one that I have heard of (but never seen) is Focal. And I did not know that they are French until I read this.
 
Amir's B10 review.


I'd totally missed or forgotten that review. My comment above was regarding another reviewer who uses Klippel whose comments were perhaps less....charitable?
 
Yamaha minimum PA speaker

A powerful, high-quality coaxial compression driver combined with proprietary FIR-X filters for the HF and LF crossover deliver sound pressure, precise phase response, and a natural dispersion to ensure every nuance of your performance is conveyed loud and clear to your audience.

 
My understanding is that both Amir & Erin measured only the 3.5 which is a very small speaker, which is why we would like to see some larger ones measured, or at least one, say a 6-8" speaker.
Considering how poor the 3.5 design is, I do not think Presonus deserves the benefit of the doubt on the larger designs.

Yeah, your probably right. I haven'theard anything about this companies products, which usually means that there is nothing there, IMO.
 
The Cerwin-Vega LA14 seems really impressive. Have it paired with a SMSL DA-1/SU1 combo. Subjectively I'm finding it a super fun listen. Kids have it so good these days.
What, Cerwin-Vega's still around?

Others tested / measured their previous E8 XT model, that didn't looked that bad as their cheap E3.5 V shaped product.
