#4 Kling Freitag PIA M: $6,780 Passive eBay

Pros: A slim, very loud passive column with accurate sound, adjustable vertical coverage, and a cardioid mode that cuts sound behind it. High-quality manufacturer measurements give preference scores of 4.50 standalone and 7.92 with an ideal subwoofer, with a 1.7dB reference band and 0.82 predicted in-room smoothness. The 3-way column has an adjustable tweeter array (5°, 15° or 25° vertical), a cardioid midrange and a woofer section switchable between bass reflex and cardioid to cut sound behind the speaker. It reaches 132dB from a slim 12.2kg cabinet. Measured bass extension of 95Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Bass is limited, at 95Hz for -3dB and about 82Hz for -10dB in bass-reflex mode, so it needs a subwoofer for music. It is passive and meant for Kling & Freitag amplifiers, and it is sold only through pro dealers with no published price.
