What budget speakers you like to see reviewed?

[Jeromeof]

Any chance of some reviews of the Polk XT series e.g. the XT15 or XT20 - they are on sale in Europe - so roughly Eur120 or Eur199 at the moment - given they seem to test well with Erin tests and maybe share some of the tech of the ES series and much better than the older T series I thought they might make a good option for people.

not sure about "budget" but I think a lot of people waits for very promising Polk Audio R200

Napier Lopez has measured them. Flat listening window, some directivity error, tweeter beaming.

Keep the recommendations coming but right now, I have more speakers to test than I have time! So I won't be buying more until I get through the backlog.

Hi Amir!

I'd love to see the Tannoy 402 measured and reviewed. It's a great little speaker especially for the price ($100 per speaker). About the same size as the Edifier 1280T but with much better sound. Huge increase in clarity. Lots of volume for a desktop setup and way more bass than the Genelec 8010.

Those look great. There may be some amp or ADC noise, though: http://digitalstereophony.blogspot.com/2015/12/tannoy-402-review.html?m=1

There's slight buzzing with the Tannoy 402... likely comparable to other powered speakers. I only have one of them at the moment and the buzz isn't audible in my environment from more than 2 feet away. The PC fan noise and noise from outside covers it up. If it was absolutely silent in the room it might be audible at 2-3 feet though.. I'm not sure.

They sound really good - I'm very happy with them and have ordered a second one. The small size is a huge benefit. I would consider other speakers like the Adam T5V but they're way too big for me.

The one I bought was previously purchased and returned by someone via Amazon. I wonder if they returned it because of the buzz, or because maybe they thought there would be two speakers in the box

Polk signature elite 60 towers. The S15, and S20 bookshelf speakers measured well. I would love to see how the towers hold up.

Dynaudio LYD 7 or BM5A III or any other their 2-way with proper in-house woofer - 3" voice coil+inner magnet.
Budget "traditional" 1" voice coil woofers (Excite, LYD 5, DM 2/6 etc) can't do that bass.

I'm not sure how "budget" it is
But Adam audio A7V would be cool

This. I wouldn't call them budget, but definitely want to see some measurements of the A7V!

I think there are two speakers that could be interesting to have measured.

First -> Aperion Audio Novus N5B, 599$ per pair (although some Youtubers have offered a partnership with the brand to offer a 10% discount)

Second -> Aperion Audio Theatrus T65, at 1049$ per unit they are not cheap but they look stunning

Very interesting...

Out of curiosity I just ordered a pair of these on Amazon for under $50 using a 50% off coupon that popped up. Should be interesting...

They hiss quite obvious, a measurement I would love to see on actives.
