What budget speakers you like to see reviewed?

I would like to see some anechoic Spins of the V series by Swissonic, someone shared a spliced gated+ground plane measurements of the V5, V7 and V8, and they all seem fairly decent, so I'm curious how they would do on the Klippel NFS.

The V5s, as those are the most affordable and likely easier to integrate into a set up for most due to it's smaller size.

(Just fyi, the main reason why I'm interested in these is the fact that Swissonic managed to obtain very clean and linear directivity on the A305 and A306 despite them being budget monitors, with the only real issue being the diffraction in the vertical, which is visible in the DI. I'm hoping that maybe the V5 could carry similar characteristics, without the diffraction, since it is not apparent in the DI, and if that were to be confirmed on the Klippel NFS, this speaker could be a very solid contender for sub 500 active speakers )

The measurements that I was referring to are on this post, if you'd like to have a look.

And the V5s are in sale this year for 80€ a piece, few months ago the V8s were on sale for 100€ a piece.
 
Edifier S3000 PRO speakers are highly regarded in their price range. Would love to see official measurements.
 
Fluid Audio FX50 v2 - 143$ / 155€
Fluid Audio FX80 v2 - 193$ / 209 €

They both look interesting, coaxials with small waveguides, front port, dip switches on the back, and reasonably low price.

Though i'm more curious about the 8 inch ones, same goes for the Swissonic A308 and Swissonic V8 and Presonus Eris Studio 8, they're all around / below 200€ per piece.

These products look great on paper, certainly compromises were made to hit the value price point they are at. Would love to see a review!

Fluid Audio FX50 was reviewed here in ASR.


Manofacturare says:

We have listened to the constructive feedback from our customers and implemented a few improvements to the FX series. The biggest being a general flatting of the frequency response. We uncovered a few more EQ biquads and applied them to areas that could use flattening. The result is a more even response, optimum for mixing. The other improvement is updating the panel artwork to be a little bigger and clearer to read.

Maybe is worth it to review again, but FR look very similar now and then...

I'd like to see measurements of the larger V8. Erin has already tested the smaller A305 and A306; the A and V series share the same woofer, and the V5 isn't even available as of this poast. Measuring the V8 is a two for one of obtaining a measurement of the larger 8 inch woofer as well as answering @SivKiv's query on diffraction.

The X8 is also an option but higher priced and less relevant to the meta discussion.

Oh, the V5 is unavailable now? Bummer......

According to this review the FX80 seem to stack up with the Kali LP-8 and T8v.
 
Considering that Amir got a pair of A7Vs, I’d like to see the HEDD Type 07 mk2 and EVE SC207 reviewed to see how they compare against them.
