#152 Klipsch Synergy SB-3: $450 per pair Discontinued eBay
Pros: A two-way bookshelf with an 8” woofer and a 1” aluminium compression driver on a Tractrix horn. Sensitivity is high at 94dB. Klipsch’s measurements show a preference score of 3.58 that reaches 6.25 with an ideal subwoofer, with 0.48 listening window deviation.
Cons: The on-axis response is uneven (1.35 average deviation). Klipsch ended the Synergy line. Bass reaches 77.2Hz (-3dB) and about 59Hz (-10dB). That data is of unknown quality. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Spendor SA1 - $1970 more, 9Hz lower bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: B&W 805 D4 - $9775 more, 6Hz lower bass extension (-3dB).
