#47 Martin Audio CDD15: $2,500 Passive eBay
Same family: the Martin Audio CDD-LIVE 8 (smallest powered model, estimated 3.4/5), the Martin Audio CDD-LIVE 12 (powered model, estimated 3.1/5), the Martin Audio CDD-LIVE 15 (largest powered model, ranked higher, estimated 3.5/5), the Martin Audio CDD5 (smaller passive model, estimated 3/5), the Martin Audio CDD6 (smaller passive model, estimated 3.1/5), the Martin Audio CDD8 (smaller passive model, rated 3.2/5), the Martin Audio CDD10 (smaller passive model, rated 3.1/5) and the Martin Audio CDD12 (smaller passive model, rated 2.9/5).
Pros: A passive 15 inch coaxial installation speaker designed to keep the level even from the front row to the back of a room. A 15-inch woofer with a coaxial 1.4-inch titanium compression driver uses Coaxial Differential Dispersion, widening coverage from 60° far away to 100° up close for even level across a room. Bass reaches 80Hz at -3dB and about 50Hz at -10dB, and manufacturer measurements give a 4.91 preference score with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 80Hz (-3dB).
Cons: A wide 4.9dB reference band and 0.701 listening-window deviation mean tonal balance is uneven, with a 1.99 standalone score. It is a 26kg passive install cabinet that needs Martin Audio amplification and presets, and it is sold only through dealers.
