Brand: d&b audiotechnik
#32 d&b audiotechnik 24S: $1,620 Passive eBay
Same family: the d&b audiotechnik 4S (smaller model, estimated 3.2/5), the d&b audiotechnik 42S (smaller model, estimated 3.5/5), the d&b audiotechnik 44S (smaller model, rated 3.6/5), the d&b audiotechnik 5S (smaller model, estimated 3.3/5), the d&b audiotechnik 8S (smaller model, rated 3.1/5), the d&b audiotechnik 10S (smaller model, rated 3.7/5) and the d&b audiotechnik 12S (smaller model, ranked lower, rated 3.8/5).
Pros: A passive installation speaker with two 12 inch woofers for full range use and a rotatable horn for long throw in larger rooms. Manufacturer measurements give preference scores of 3.11 standalone and 5.81 with an ideal subwoofer, and two 12-inch woofers reach 69Hz at -3dB and about 53Hz at -10dB. A 1.4-inch compression driver on a rotatable 75° x 45° horn and a 138dB peak rating give long throw for larger rooms. It can run full range on its own or pair with d&b xS subwoofers. Measured bass extension of 69Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The 3.4dB reference band means tonal balance is less even than the best 12-inch speakers here. It is a large 33kg passive cabinet meant for permanent installs, needing d&b amplifiers and presets. It is sold only through d&b dealers with no published price.
