#21 Yamaha VXS5: $392.98 per pair Amazon eBay
Same family: the Yamaha VXS3F (smaller model, ranked lower, rated 2.6/5).
Pros: A compact surface-mount speaker for commercial installations with a 5.25” woofer and a dome tweeter, weather-resistant for covered outdoor use. Yamaha’s measurements show a preference score of 1.86 that reaches 5.17 with an ideal subwoofer, with 0.59 listening window deviation.
Cons: Bass is limited, so it needs a subwoofer for full-range music, and the on-axis response is uneven (0.95 average deviation). The data comes from Yamaha. Bass reaches 95.0Hz (-3dB) and about 70Hz (-10dB).
How it compares: Just above it: KME ICS4. Just below it: Electro-Voice EVID-S8.2 - $316 more.
