Epos's ELS8 Mini Monitor Speakers are based on the the popular ELS3 speaker, which is Epos's best-selling speaker model. The ELS8 has a .70-inch speaker cabinet with a curved front that reduces the dispersion of sound and has a removable cloth grille. Other features include a metal-domed tweeter that is an inch thick and provides a high range of audio frequency. The ELS8 has a power handle rating of 100 watts.
The Paradigm Reference Mini Monitor speaker features a two-way bass reflex system that enhances bass frequencies and helps to balance the overall sound. Other features of the speaker include the Seismic subwoofers and heavy wall construction with internal bracing. Residual energy is controlled by the use of constrained layer damping, which ensures the sound is clear and there is little or no dispersion. Finish options include black, cherry and rosenut.
Dynaudio's Contour 1.1 Mini Monitor Speakers feature a cloth soft dome tweeter that is over an inch thick and provides a wide spectrum of audio frequencies. Other features include a mid-woofer with MSP cone material and a large aluminum voice coil for enhanced clarity. The speaker drivers are fixed on a gray metal baffle, which secures the speaker and is also aesthetically pleasing, as it provides a visual contrast to the other parts of the speaker cabinet. The speaker is finished in beechwood veneer.
