Brand: EAW
#8 EAW MKC120: $1,555.00 Passive SoundPro $1,555.00 eBay
Same family: the EAW MKC50 (smaller model, rated 3.6/5), the EAW MKC60 (smaller model, rated 3.8/5) and the EAW MKC80 (smaller model, rated 3.9/5).
Pros: An accurate passive 12 inch PA speaker with deeper bass than most, a rotatable horn and a pole mount for small to mid size rooms. Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 5.04 standalone and 7.57 with an ideal subwoofer. Bass reaches about 62Hz (-3dB), deeper than most 12-inch boxes here, and the 135dB maximum SPL and 600W handling suit small and mid-size rooms. It weighs 16.4kg, with a rotatable 90° x 60° horn, built-in handle and pole mount. Measured bass extension of 62Hz (-3dB).
Cons: A passive cabinet, so it needs a separate amplifier and processor with EAW presets. Listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.239 and predicted in-room smoothness is 0.729, less even than the best coaxials in this ranking. Street pricing is high for a box that cannot play without extra gear.
