#57 Atlantic Technology 8600eC: $1,400 each Atlantic Technology eBay
Pros: A large sealed three-way center with four 6.5” woofers and two 5.25” midranges around a 1” silk dome tweeter, on a tilting base to aim it at the seats. Erin’s Audio Corner measured bass to 60.1Hz (-3dB) and about 43Hz (-10dB) and wide horizontal coverage (about ±60 degrees), and the 93dB sensitivity means it plays loud on modest power. Measured bass extension of 60.1Hz (-3dB).
Cons: On-axis deviation (0.66) and a 3.2dB listening window spread from 300Hz to 5kHz keep its preference score at 3.46 without a subwoofer. It is 955mm wide and weighs 41.5kg.
How it compares: Just above it: Emotiva Airmotiv XC2 - $1001 cheaper, 4Hz lower bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: Bowers & Wilkins HTM81 D4 - $9100 more, 3Hz lower bass extension (-3dB).
