Same family: the Behringer Eurolive B212XL (smaller model, rated 2.3/5).
Pros: A very cheap passive 15 inch PA speaker, a budget entry point for anyone who already owns an amplifier. High-quality independent measurement data gives a clear, well-documented result: a 3.39 ideal-subwoofer preference score with 77Hz extension. At a fraction of the price of every active speaker here, it is a genuine budget entry point for a 15-inch two-way box. Measured bass extension of 85Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Being passive, it needs an external amplifier and crossover to work at all, and RMS power handling and build quality trail every powered alternative in this ranking. The 70° x 40° pattern is on the narrow side.

Frequency Response
How the Behringer Eurolive B215XL measures across the audible range. A flatter listening window (the sound arriving straight at you) is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. The estimated in-room response adds what a typical room does, and there a gentle, even tilt down toward the treble is ideal. Both curves are shifted so their 300 Hz to 3 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: spinorama.org, measured by Erin’s Audio Corner.
EQ for a Neutral Response
Flattens the measured listening window from the Behringer Eurolive B215XL's own bass extension up to 16 kHz. Set a preamp of -2.6 dB, then add these filters to any parametric equalizer in the signal path: the speaker's app or DSP if it has parametric EQ, a miniDSP, Equalizer APO or Wavelet. Boosts are kept to 3 dB, and EQ cannot fix how evenly the speaker spreads sound off-axis, which is why some speakers gain more than others. Predicted preference score with this EQ: 0.7, up from 0.2 (3.8 with an ideal subwoofer, up from 3.4). Calculated by Speaker Ranking from the spinorama measurements above.
| Filter | Frequency | Gain | Q |
|---|---|---|---|
| High shelf | 8,000 Hz | -0.7 dB | 0.70 |
| Peak | 742 Hz | +2.5 dB | 4.00 |
