Brand: KV2 Audio
#17 KV2 Audio EX10: $2,900 eBay
Same family: the KV2 Audio EX6 (smaller model, estimated 3.6/5), the KV2 Audio EX26 (smaller model, estimated 3.6/5), the KV2 Audio EX28 (larger model, estimated 3.8/5), the KV2 Audio EX12 (larger model, rated 4.4/5) and the KV2 Audio EX15 (larger model, rated 4/5).
Pros: A specialist powered 10 inch PA speaker with deep bass for its size, a large compression driver, and built in DSP for clear vocals. Medium-quality vendor data gives it a 4.70 ideal-subwoofer preference score with 52Hz measured extension, one of the deepest results in this ranking. Its 3-inch-diaphragm compression driver and integrated DSP target vocal clarity and controlled throw. Measured bass extension of 54.5Hz (-3dB).
Cons: At a roughly $2900 asking price this specialist box is far less accessible than the mainstream leaders, and user controls are comparatively spare without an onboard mixer or app control.

Frequency Response
How the KV2 Audio EX10 measures across the audible range. A flatter listening window (the sound arriving straight at you) is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. The estimated in-room response adds what a typical room does, and there a gentle, even tilt down toward the treble is ideal. Both curves are shifted so their 300 Hz to 3 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: spinorama.org, measured by the manufacturer.
EQ for a Neutral Response
Flattens the measured listening window from the KV2 Audio EX10's own bass extension up to 16 kHz. Set a preamp of -2.5 dB, then add these filters to any parametric equalizer in the signal path: the speaker's app or DSP if it has parametric EQ, a miniDSP, Equalizer APO or Wavelet. Boosts are kept to 3 dB, and EQ cannot fix how evenly the speaker spreads sound off-axis, which is why some speakers gain more than others. Predicted preference score with this EQ: 3.6, up from 2.3 (6.0 with an ideal subwoofer, up from 4.7). Calculated by Speaker Ranking from the spinorama measurements above.
| Filter | Frequency | Gain | Q |
|---|---|---|---|
| High shelf | 8,000 Hz | -0.5 dB | 0.70 |
| Peak | 132 Hz | -5.1 dB | 0.80 |
| Peak | 711 Hz | -1.6 dB | 4.00 |
| Peak | 3,288 Hz | -3.9 dB | 4.00 |
| Peak | 8,699 Hz | -3.0 dB | 2.47 |
| Peak | 15,105 Hz | +3.0 dB | 2.81 |
