#34 GGNTKT M1: 7500 GBP/pair Purite Audio (UK)
Pros: One front and two rear firing 6.5 inch aluminum woofers cancel each other’s rearward radiation for genuine cardioid bass control, confirmed by a sound power directivity index that climbs steadily through the midrange rather than the erratic pattern typical of non cardioid designs. Listening window smoothness measures 0.67, among the best of any speaker added to this catalog from spinorama.org’s measurement set, and the measured extension reaches 33.8Hz, deeper than most speakers in this class.
Cons: On axis deviation measures a comparatively rough 0.475dB average despite the excellent listening window smoothness, meaning a listener sitting dead center may notice more unevenness than the off axis figures suggest. At £7,500/pair it is one of the most expensive speakers in this catalog, sold through a single UK dealer with no direct online checkout. The electronics live in a separate outboard enclosure connected by cable rather than being built into the cabinet, adding setup complexity most active monitors avoid.
How it compares: Just above it: AsciLab C8C. Just below it: KRK Rokit 8 G4.
