#7 Coda Audio HOPS5: $1,650 Passive eBay

Same family: the Coda Audio HOPS8 (larger model, rated 3.7/5) and the Coda Audio HOPS12i-Pro (larger model, estimated 3/5). See every Coda Audio HOPS generation.

Pros: A weatherproof passive coaxial speaker with wide coverage, strong output, and a light cabinet for fills and installs. High-quality vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 3.60 standalone and 6.80 with an ideal subwoofer, and predicted in-room smoothness is a good 0.774. The IP54 rated 6.4kg cabinet has wide 100° x 100° coverage and reaches 124dB. Measured bass extension of 90Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Bass reaches only about 90Hz (-3dB), and listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.478, so it sounds thin and slightly uneven without a subwoofer. It is passive and needs an external amplifier and processor.
