#5 Emotiva Airmotiv XA2: $329 per pair Estimated Emotiva eBay
Same family: the Emotiva Airmotiv XB2 (bookshelf, rated 4.2/5), the Emotiva Airmotiv XT1 (smallest floorstanding, estimated 4/5), the Emotiva Airmotiv XT2 (floorstanding, estimated 4.2/5), the Emotiva Airmotiv XT3 (largest floorstanding, estimated 4.2/5), the Emotiva Airmotiv XC2 (smallest center, estimated 3.4/5), the Emotiva Airmotiv XC1 (center, estimated 3.6/5) and the Emotiva Airmotiv XC3 (largest center, estimated 3.6/5).
Pros: A wall or ceiling surround and height speaker with the folded ribbon tweeter of the Emotiva Airmotiv XB2, which rotates to aim at the listener, and a 5.25” woofer.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. Rated only from 75Hz, so it needs a subwoofer, and 86dB sensitivity is modest.
