#5 Revel M55XC: $420 per pair Discontinued eBay
Pros: Audio Science Review measurements demonstrate a 3.36 preference score that leaps to 6.89 with a subwoofer. Smooth off-axis response and tight directivity matching through the crossover handover thanks to Revel’s Acoustic Lens waveguide. Rugged IP56 weather resistance and included InvisiBall mounting hardware make installation straightforward. Measured bass extension of 112.8Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Compact sealed enclosure limits bass output, with -6dB extension at 90.8Hz and rapid low-frequency roll-off below 100Hz. Modest 86.5dB sensitivity means it requires a capable amplifier for open outdoor spaces. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Focal 100 OD6 - $71 cheaper, 0.5Hz higher bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: RSL Outsider II - $120 cheaper, 1.5Hz higher bass extension (-3dB).
