Eve Audio SC205 (single speaker - buy two)

A pro-tier powered 5-inch nearfield with an AMT tweeter and DSP preset control, sold individually. One of the more detailed compact monitors in this group, the AMT-driven high end is its calling card for near-field reference work. With a 53 Hz–21 kHz response from the 5-inch SilverCone woofer, anyone needing solid sub-53 Hz low-end should plan to add a subwoofer — and remember you'll need two for stereo.
