#6 B&O Beolab20: $15000 Discontinued Bang-olufsen eBay
Pros: ASR measured bass reaching about 20Hz in a relatively compact enclosure, giving substantial low-end weight without a separate subwoofer. Distortion at ordinary listening levels is respectable for the size. Built-in amplification and Free/Wall/Corner adjustment simplify integration into a compatible home system.
Cons: A 4.88 ideal-subwoofer preference score shows that deep bass does not compensate for the tonal flaws. A roughly 5dB dip near 7kHz and uneven vertical response make treble balance sensitive to ear height. Midrange distortion rises at higher playback levels, with resonance-related problems around 700-800Hz and 5kHz. Difficult to recommend for neutral monitoring at its premium price. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Buchardt A700 - $8400 cheaper, 40W less output power.
