#180 DIYSG Volt-8 v2: $300 per pair kit eBay
Same family: the DIYSG Volt-6 (smaller bookshelf, ranked lower, rated 2.3/5).
Pros: A DIY kit from DIY Sound Group built around an 8” coaxial driver. Erin measured a preference score of 1.81 that reaches 4.56 with an ideal subwoofer, with 0.70 listening window deviation. Measured bass extension of 90.8Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Bass rolls off early and the on-axis response is uneven (0.94 average deviation). It is a kit to build yourself. Bass reaches 90.8Hz (-3dB) and about 57Hz (-10dB).
How it compares: Just above it: Tannoy Revolution XT 6 - $800 more. Just below it: Cerwin Vega LA165 - $30 cheaper.
