Brand: Meyer Sound
#20 Meyer Sound Ultra X23: $5,540 eBay
Same family: the Meyer Sound Ultra X20 (smaller model, ranked higher, rated 3.6/5), the Meyer Sound Ultra X22 (smaller model, ranked higher, rated 3.9/5), the Meyer Sound Ultra X40 (larger model, rated 3.8/5) and the Meyer Sound Ultra X80 (larger model, estimated 3.9/5).
Pros: A very wide coverage self-powered speaker, built for close-in fill with listeners far off to the sides. The widest-coverage member of Meyer’s ULTRA-X20 family, with a 110° x 110° horn for close-in fill where listeners sit far off to the sides. Bass reaches 71Hz at -3dB from two 5-inch woofers around a concentric 2-inch compression driver, and a built-in 860W peak amplifier with Meyer processing makes it self-powered. Measured bass extension of 71Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Manufacturer measurements give a 1.73 standalone and 4.53 ideal-subwoofer preference score, well below its narrower-coverage Meyer Sound Ultra X20 and Meyer Sound Ultra X22 siblings, with a 4.1dB reference band. Output tops out around 123.5dB, and it is sold only through Meyer dealers.
Is the Meyer Sound Ultra X23 right for you?
Skip it if
- you want neutral sound: its measured preference score is 4.5 even with a subwoofer.
- you want the best value: the higher-rated DAS Audio ARTEC 506A costs about $3,360 less.
