#18 Coda Audio HOPS8: $2,100 Passive eBay
Same family: the Coda Audio HOPS5 (smaller model, rated 3.8/5) and the Coda Audio HOPS12i-Pro (larger model, estimated 3/5). See every Coda Audio HOPS generation.
Pros: A passive 8 inch coaxial PA speaker with wide coverage, high sensitivity and good bass depth for its size. High-quality manufacturer measurements give preference scores of 2.82 standalone and 5.53 with an ideal subwoofer, and bass reaches 63Hz at -3dB, deep for an 8-inch design. An 8-inch woofer plus an 8-inch coaxial driver with a 1.75-inch compression driver gives wide 100° conical coverage. It is rated at 98dB sensitivity and a 133.5dB peak from a 12kg cabinet. Measured bass extension of 63Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Listening-window deviation of 0.586 means the tonal balance is less even than the best 8-inch models, and a 3.69 directivity-index deviation means off-axis tone varies. It is passive and needs an amplifier with Coda presets. It is sold through pro dealers with no published price.
