#47 Airpulse A80: $699.99 per pair Estimated Amazon eBay

Same family: the Airpulse A60 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 3.8/5), the Airpulse A100 (larger bookshelf, ranked higher, rated 4/5) and the Airpulse A200T (larger bookshelf, ranked higher, estimated 4/5).

Pros: A compact AirPulse speaker with the brand’s horn-loaded aluminum ribbon tweeter and a 4.5” aluminum-cone woofer, separately amplified with 40W per woofer and 10W per tweeter. The specified range runs from 52Hz to 40kHz. Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX, optical, USB, PC and AUX inputs, a subwoofer output and a remote make it an all-in-one desk or bookshelf system.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the larger AirPulse A100. Bass stops around 52Hz, so it benefits from a subwoofer, and the horn tweeter can narrow vertical dispersion, so keep it near ear height.
