Brand: L-Acoustics

#4 L-Acoustics X6i: $1,695 Passive eBay

Same family: the L-Acoustics X4i (smaller model, ranked lower, rated 3.6/5), the L-Acoustics X8 (larger model, rated 4/5), the L-Acoustics X12 (larger model, rated 4.6/5) and the L-Acoustics X15 HiQ (larger model, rated 4.4/5).

Pros: A small weatherproof coaxial speaker with accurate, even sound and plenty of output for outdoor installs and near field monitoring. 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.
