#44 Ex Machina Pulsar MKII: $11,700/pair Vintage King eBay
Pros: Excellent 4.15 raw and 5.27 sub-assisted local Spinorama scores, unusually deep 26Hz measured extension, sealed loading and coaxial mid/tweeter geometry. DSP crossovers, individual calibration, Hypex amplification and wide 90-degree conical dispersion make this a technically advanced full-range monitor.
Cons: The $11,700/pair price is extremely high, and the professional feature set adds conversion and DSP complexity that many home listeners do not need. It is large and heavy for a nearfield monitor, with limited mainstream dealer support.
How it compares: Just above it: Genelec 8341A - $5110 cheaper. Just below it: Adam Audio S2V - $8200 cheaper.
