Battle of the affordables

Check out the reviews for Revival Audio Atalanta 3 monitors. Even better, try to get a listen if you can find someone who has them within driving distance. 

I've had them for a couple years now and won't part with them, unless I get a bigger space. I'll then move up the line to the Atalante 5. 

All the best,

btw this list is like one from Honda Civic through a Miata to a pickup truck. Makes no sense to me.

You're an audiophile snob.  Just because something is inexpensive, does not mean it cannot sound good.

That was quite a price spread ,  I'll suggest something in the middle price wise.   Studio Electric M4 $3290.   Phenomenal speaker for the money
