Brand: L-Acoustics
#10 L-Acoustics SOKA: $5,400 Passive eBay
Pros: An ultra-shallow passive column only about 10cm deep, with very wide coverage and high output that hides against a wall. An ultra-shallow line source only about 10cm deep and 9.4kg that reaches 133dB with 140° horizontal coverage, which lets it hide against a wall or column. Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 3.21 standalone and 6.99 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 128Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Bass reaches only about 128Hz (-3dB), so it needs a subwoofer or a bass companion, and it is passive, so it requires L-Acoustics amplified controllers. Listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.348 and pricing is dealer quoted.
Is the L-Acoustics SOKA right for you?
Skip it if
- you will not add a subwoofer: bass rolls off below about 128 Hz.
- you want the best value: the higher-rated JBL CBT 1000 costs about $2,325 less.
