That sounds like a good thread to create. It will probably get some good responses.Car speakers. Are there good ones that don't cost an arm and a leg?

Between 100 and 400 euro for 2 midwoofers and tweeters. 400 if it makes a real difference. Otherwise closer to 100.What's your budget?
I’ve already tested them. Don’t waste your money. I’ll have a review up soon. In the next week or two.
I was expecting a lot worse. It looks like a 2 Ohm resistor inserted right before the tweeter positive terminal would smooth things out quite a bit. What remains is the directivity issue. Do you think that would still make these a non-starter?Review is now on my site.

Definitely not the worst I've seen. Distortion performance in particular seems surprisingly solid. Directivity is kind of a mess, but I think at least some of that could be mitigated by redesigning the crossover.Review is now on my site.
I saw some gated in-room measurements from a Korean site that @napilopez digitized. It's overall pretty decent, and if the measurer's distortion measurements are accurate it's very low distortion as well - better IMD performance than even the KH120.Would be nice to see the Focal Alpha 50 Evo. I would like to see how the cheap Focals perform!
Based on the accurate analysis of the characteristics of the unit by the German KLIPPEL system, a flatter curve necessary for a monitor is acquired after dozens of professional tunings by Edifier Acoustic Lab

Looks like a speaker that may be good at low volumes, but not high.Yea, it's not terrible but - being they (Dayton) have access to all the parts they'd need to make this better - I am disappointed. There is no reason for the HF to be lifted +5dB as it is. And then you read this on their site what I've provided below and it's just... well, honestly, annoying. IMHO, it "primes" the customer base to think that artificially lifted treble is "detailed". As someone who is doing their best to provide data and help people understand the importance of a neutral response with good directivity, it makes my job harder (hopefully that doesn't sound like I have a ego about it; that's not my intent). Then there's the "you don't need a sub" bit. Meanwhile, the data shows this isn't the case with an F3 of 72Hz and F10 of 43Hz. Those numbers are indeed good. But is it "subwoofer" territory? Certainly not. I feel like Dayton's marketing department took this speaker and ran with some outrageous claims.

Not only passive but also smaller, the passive equivalent was B2031P (both passives are discontinued).Amir, this knock off Genelec from Behringer could be a good one to review.
B2031A - $200 each typical price
You reviewed the discontinued passive version of it (I think): https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...behringer-b2030p-studio-monitor-review.14719/Behringer | Product | B2031A
