#21 HEDD Type 20 MK2: $4800 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay

Pros: The measured ported configuration reaches 35.2Hz at -3dB and scores 7.69 with an ideal subwoofer. A 2.4dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz supports broadly balanced mids, while ported operation reduces deep-bass strain compared with the sealed setting in the review. Measured bass extension of 32Hz (-3dB).

Cons: These results are for ported operation, not every bass or phase setting. Horizontal asymmetry and vertical crossover behavior make orientation and listening position important. Distortion rises at higher output, and linear-phase processing can add latency for live monitoring.

How it compares: Just above it: Genelec 8350A - $2025 cheaper, 550W less output power. Just below it: PSI Audio A21-M - $1080 cheaper, 565W less output power.
