#1 QSC K8.2: $749.99 Amazon B&H Photo Video Guitar Center eBay
Pros: This is the standout measured result in this ranking: low-quality vendor data still returns a 6.88 ideal-subwoofer preference score, continuing the K.2 series’ strong showing at every driver size. Extensive onboard DSP, a titanium compression driver and QSC’s long market track record make it an unusually safe general-purpose 8-inch pick.
Cons: The underlying Spinorama source is low quality, so its apparent measured lead deserves some caution. An 8-inch woofer means a subwoofer partner matters even more than with the larger K.2 models.
How it compares: Just below it: L-Acoustics 108P.
