The Korena take

CR3.5 is a compact powered 3.5-inch monitor pair for a setup that alternates between reference listening and more relaxed playback. Its selectable tone control begins with a flat studio-reference voice; turning it progressively adds low end and high-end sparkle. Multiple inputs give you connection flexibility, and switchable orientation modes let you configure the speakers for desktop or bookshelf placement. That makes it a direct option for composing, recording, mixing, mastering, or off-hours listening from one pair.
