#61 Novacoustic KIRA 12 Passive eBay
Pros: High 98.5dB sensitivity and a 131dB peak with wide 90° conical coverage from a coaxial driver. Measured bass extension of 90Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Preference scores of -0.63 standalone and 2.62 with an ideal subwoofer are low, because the listening window spreads across 10.5dB and off-axis tone varies (4.35dB directivity-index deviation). Bass reaches only 90Hz at -3dB. It is passive.
