#7 Turbosound NuQ102: $530 Passive Discontinued eBay

Same family: the Turbosound NuQ62 (smaller model, rated 3.6/5), the Turbosound NuQ82 (smaller model, rated 4.1/5), the Turbosound NuQ122 (larger model, rated 3.5/5) and the Turbosound NuQ152 (larger model, rated 3.7/5).

Pros: A passive coaxial 10 inch PA speaker with wide, even coverage and good sound for installers who choose their own amplifier. Low-quality vendor data still shows a 5.5 ideal-subwoofer preference score with 63Hz measured extension. The coaxial point-source design gives symmetric 100° x 60° coverage, and being passive keeps amplification and DSP choices flexible for installers. Measured bass extension of 69Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Being passive, it needs an external amplifier and crossover to work at all, and its 124dB peak claim trails every active speaker in this ranking. Discontinued.

Frequency Response

How the Turbosound NuQ102 measures across the audible range. A flatter listening window (the sound arriving straight at you) is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. The estimated in-room response adds what a typical room does, and there a gentle, even tilt down toward the treble is ideal. Both curves are shifted so their 300 Hz to 3 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
