#113 Pioneer S-DF3-K: $350 per pair Discontinued eBay
Pros: A two-way bookshelf with an 8” polypropylene woofer and a 1” soft dome tweeter in a waveguide, on Pioneer’s vibration-isolating ISO-Drive sub-baffle. Sensitivity is 89dB. Pioneer’s measurements show a preference score of 4.58 that reaches 7.1 with an ideal subwoofer, with 0.41 listening window deviation.
Cons: The on-axis response is less even (0.70 average deviation). Pioneer no longer sells it. Bass reaches 63.0Hz (-3dB) and about 53Hz (-10dB). That data is of unknown quality. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: JBL L100 Classic - $1825 more, 1Hz higher bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: CSS Criton 1TD-X DIY - 2Hz lower bass extension (-3dB).
