#39 JBL CV3015 Passive eBay
Pros: Wide 90° x 90° coverage and 99dB sensitivity let it fill a room from modest amplifier power, and bass reaches about 56Hz at -10dB. Measured bass extension of 82.5Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Preference scores of 1.01 standalone and 4.14 with an ideal subwoofer are among the lowest here, because the listening window drifts across a 4.5dB band and the on-axis response is uneven (1.26dB average deviation). It is passive.
How it compares: Just above it: Turbosound TCS152. Just below it: DAS Audio Vantec 15A.
