The MKII measure and sound surprisingly well for their small price https://www.hifi-selbstbau.de/testberichte/fertiglautsprecher/418-alesis-monitor-one-mkiiAnyone measured the Alesis Monitor One? These are super cheap on craigslist. Ive seen them go for $50. I wonder what they sound like.
308p is here to be tested. And a Behringer although the model escapes me. Tannoy is too expensive for my budget.
Seeing how it costs $250 for just one it is outside of my budget. They don't seem very popular. Is it because they are new?Is the smaller/cheaper Tannoy Gold 5 within your budget?
Fairly new, yes. Here in Europe, it costs 166 € per piece.Seeing how it costs $250 for just one it is outside of my budget. They don't seem very popular. Is it because they are new?
Revel M126Be and M106 will be really interesting. I know the M126Be is pushing the definition of 'budget', but I am very curious to know how two nearly identical speakers with different drivers will compare.
I think Amir needs auxiliar-in for speaker testing. Lots of portable speakers are Bluetooth only.Can we have some portable speakers measured? Something like jbl charge. They are really popular, would be interesting to see.

Of the three portable/BT speakers I own (Anker Soundcore Mini, JBL Charge 3, JBL Xtreme), all three have 3.5mm aux input. I think most of them do.I think Amir needs auxiliar-in for speaker testing. Lots of portable speakers are Bluetooth only.
As with most other B&W speakers, they have elevated treble. Some like it, some don't.B&W 705 S2.
There's a review posted on Soundstage, which includes a direct comparison to the Revel M106. The reviewer, Diego Estan, liked the B&W's so much he bought a pair for himself:
"The biggest difference was in the treble."
