Neumann KH 120 II (single speaker - buy two)
A pro-grade 5.25-inch powered near-field with onboard DSP and room correction, sold as a single, so plan to buy two for a stereo pair. It trades full-range reach for mastering-grade accuracy in a compact box, making it one of the most precise references in this group. Ideal for serious mixing in treated or small rooms where precision matters; not for budget setups, and you'll want a KH 750 sub for deep sub-44Hz extension.
