The problem with cheap speakers (of any size) is that two of them used as
a
'pair' may actually be very different. The more they differ, the less
satisfactory the image would tend to become. All depends on the details.


Sure, but the *good enough at the price* must kick in for most if not all
buyers - also people's requirements differ, but if I have ever advocated
anything with speakers, it is always to get something you *can't afford*
with a 'respected' name! Then as time goes by and the price fades into
history*, they will iron themselves in as the *norm* for life - almost no
matter what they sound like!

As I said here recently, even bumping into strangers in an 'audio
environment' it seems every one of them was trying to find a pair of the
same speakers they had in the 70s!!


* Sign in a big piano shop in Cambridge: "The quality remains long after
the price has been forgotten." - Seriously!! :-)


Back in the 1970s, my brother bought a band new
Premier (British made) vibraphone complete with cases.
It cost £100. It's value now is £3 500.
