Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #82 of 86 in Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Quested S8R MkIII: $3,330 per pair Estimated Vintage King eBay
Older model: the Quested S8R (ranked lower, rated 3.4/5).
Pros: Quested’s current 8” two-way active monitor with 370W of class AB power from a linear supply (220W to the woofer, 150W to the 28mm soft dome tweeter), rated to 110dB.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from its measured predecessor. It weighs 19.2kg each and is a large nearfield monitor for desks and studios.

Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #83 of 86 in Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Quested S8R: $3,000 per pair Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Quested S8R MkIII, ranked higher, estimated 3.5/5.
Pros: A bi-amplified studio monitor with an 8” woofer and 28mm soft dome tweeter. The only Spinorama data shows very deep bass, 33.1Hz (-3dB) and about 28Hz (-10dB), and consistent directivity (2.62dB directivity index deviation). Measured bass extension of 33.1Hz (-3dB).
Cons: That data is low quality, digitized from a third-party chart. The listening window spans 3.6dB from 300Hz to 5kHz, for a preference score of 4.26 that only rises to 5.69 with an ideal subwoofer. Replaced by the S8R MkIII. Discontinued.
