#25 Bose ArenaMatch AM40 Passive eBay
Pros: Weatherproof (IP55) DeltaQ module whose 40 degree vertical pattern makes it the most usable on its own of the ArenaMatch range, with a very even on-axis response in vendor measurements (0.20dB average deviation) and bass to 54.5Hz at -3dB. Measured bass extension of 54.5Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Scores are low at 1.58 on its own and 3.90 with an ideal subwoofer, from a rough predicted in-room response (0.38 smoothness). No US retailer lists it, so it is bought through Bose Professional dealers.
