#6 L-Acoustics X8 eBay
Pros: Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 4.29 standalone and 7.09 with an ideal subwoofer, the best standalone score in this ranking. Bass reaches about 71Hz (-3dB) with a deviation of only 1.0dB across the reference band, and the 100° axisymmetric coaxial pattern stays even off axis. It reaches 129dB from a 12kg cabinet with a 35° monitor angle. Measured bass extension of 71Hz (-3dB).
Cons: It is a passive cabinet that needs an L-Acoustics amplified controller. Listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.363 and predicted in-room smoothness is 0.615, a step behind the best-measuring boxes. Pricing is dealer quoted and high for an 8-inch box.
How it compares: Just above it: JBL PRX908. Just below it: RCF KX 08-A.
