#112 HUMAN Speakers 81 DK: $1,397/pair HUMAN Speakers eBay
Pros: Hand-built in the US with an 8-inch woofer, simple crossover, real oak veneer and strong 41Hz measured extension. The easy 89dB specified sensitivity and 175W rating support useful output.
Cons: Local Spinorama scores of 1.54 raw and 3.49 with a subwoofer show major response/directivity shortcomings. The cabinets are large and visually traditional, and direct-order production may involve lead time.
How it compares: Just above it: B&W 805S - $1103 more, 2.5Hz lower bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: Fosi Audio SP601 - $997 cheaper, 3.6Hz lower bass extension (-3dB).
