Optimal Audio Cuboid 5 - ranked #28 of 33 Line Array and Installation PA Speakers · Editor's rating 2.5/5

#28 Optimal Audio Cuboid 5: $110 each eBay

Same family: the Optimal Audio Cuboid 3 (smaller model, ranked lower, rated 2.3/5).

Pros: A compact installation speaker from Optimal Audio with a 5” coaxial driver. Optimal Audio’s measurements show a preference score of 0.27 that reaches 3.94 with an ideal subwoofer, with 0.74 listening window deviation.

Cons: Bass is very limited, so it needs a subwoofer, and the on-axis response is uneven (1.15 average deviation). That data is low quality and comes from Optimal Audio. Bass reaches 122.0Hz (-3dB) and about 92Hz (-10dB). That data is low quality.

Related speakers: Optimal Audio Cuboid 3.

How it compares: Just above it: Yamaha VXL1-24 - $1230 more. Just below it: Electro-Voice EVID-S4.2 - $130 more.
