#4 L-Acoustics X6i eBay

Pros: Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 4.20 standalone and 7.34 with an ideal subwoofer. The 90° axisymmetric coaxial pattern is even, with listening-window narrow-band deviation of 0.23 and predicted in-room smoothness of 0.572. It is an IP55 rated 6.3kg cabinet that reaches 123dB, which suits weather-exposed installs and near-field monitoring. Measured bass extension of 90Hz (-3dB).

Cons: A passive cabinet that needs an L-Acoustics amplified controller such as the LA2Xi, LA4X or LA7.16i. Bass reaches only about 90Hz (-3dB), so a subwoofer is required for anything beyond speech and light music. Pricing is dealer quoted and high for a 6.5-inch box.

How it compares: Just above it: Alcons Audio VR5 V1. Just below it: Meyer Sound Ultra X22.
