Audiofocus VENU 8a - ranked #15 of 15 8-Inch Two-Way Powered PA Speakers · Editor's rating 1.9/5

#15 Audiofocus VENU 8a: $2,100.00 eBay

Pros: A wide 80° x 80° horn and 134dB claimed peak give it unusually broad, symmetric coverage and high maximum output for stage use, and its 11.5kg weight is manageable for a touring box.

Cons: Low-quality vendor data shows a 1.36 ideal-subwoofer preference score with bass extension only to roughly 106Hz, the weakest measured result of any speaker in this family of rankings; this cabinet is voiced as a subwoofer-dependent top rather than a stand-alone full-range box.

How it compares: Just above it: RCF ART 708-A MK4 - $1575 cheaper.
