I bought today at 200 euros a pair of Maudio bx5 d3, in general lines it is better and more balanced than the jbl lsr305, jbl 305p mk2, yamaha hs5, mackie mr524 and krk rp5 g4, does not have the deep bass of course like the jbl 305p mk2, but for the price is very fair speaker!
it is also heavy in kg, it looks like a good construction mdf and not not cheap plastic like others...also no hiss intense like jbl! I expect soon the measurements! ;)

I am thinking it may make sense to buy a few budget but popular speakers to test. Or alternatively members buying and donating them to be tested. :)

So what is "in" these days as far as budget speakers? I am thinking under $200 for a pair.

Looking at my measurements now, it seems my subjective impressions were not correlating with it much. I should do another listen to it one of these days.

Meanwhile, I have the tower Sony speakers I need to test....
I was just about to say, it doesn’t look that bad; though you said that due to fitting error that the upper treble was higher than measured (only 800 measurement points vs the now standard 1000+).

Both/either.

Did @MakeItWain get in contact with you? In the comments ablove it seems he was committing to getting the Chane A1.5 and drop-shipping it to you.
Not that I recall. I just bought the Chane.

Ah, so maybe I need to measure it again as well! :)

Hello,

Long time lurker, first time poster here.

I was searching for a "cheap but decent" bookshelf speaker here in Europe but that seems an impossible task. So I decided to browse AliExpress and found some weird stuff being sold there:

Nobsound:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32861314950.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32861346325.html

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001374770965.html

SoundArtist

They are probably all crap, but it would be entertaining to see it being reviewed nonetheless :p Maybe there is a hidden gem there?

@amirm - please test Edifier S2000MKIII or S3000 Pro, also would be great to see new really cheap Edifier R2850DB.
Maybe also Klipsch R-51PM.

Thank you.

Thanks for doing the T50 amir! Definitely exceeded expectations...

What would it take to get the JBL studio 590 measured?

Maybe when they have one of their crazy sales again. At $600, it is a bit much. If you all want to donate half of it though, I will match the other and buy and test it now.

I'm in for $50 if any other people are interested. Would be great to see more midrange towers on the Klippel!
