#23 LD Systems Stinger 28-A-G3: $799 Thomann $799 eBay

Same family: the LD Systems Stinger 8-A-G3 (smaller model, ranked higher, rated 3.7/5), the LD Systems Stinger 10-A-G3 (larger model, rated 4.1/5), the LD Systems Stinger 12 A G3 (larger model, rated 3.5/5) and the LD Systems Stinger 15-A-G3 (larger model, rated 3.4/5).

Pros: A powered PA speaker with two 8 inch woofers, deep bass for its size and presets for use as a top, satellite or monitor. Two 8-inch woofers give bass to 56Hz at -3dB and about 50Hz at -10dB, deep for an 8-inch design, from a 500W (1000W peak) amplifier rated to 131dB. The birch plywood cabinet has a polyurea coating and steel grille, and DynX DSP presets let it work as a full-range top, satellite or monitor. Measured bass extension of 56Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Manufacturer measurements show a wide 3.7dB reference band and 0.729 listening-window deviation, so tonal balance is uneven, and the standalone preference score is only 1.96. The single-8-inch LD Systems Stinger 8-A-G3 measures better for the money.
