#2 Mesanovic CDM65: $5,998 per pair Front End Audio eBay
Pros: Erin’s measurements show a very even 1.1dB span from 300Hz to 5kHz and an 8.57 ideal-subwoofer preference score, strong evidence for natural tonal balance. Measured -3dB bass extension is 36.6Hz. Switchable cardioid operation offers useful control of rearward radiation; an optional WiSA hub adds wireless system integration. Measured bass extension of 36.6Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Cardioid operation and bass tuning affect placement and output, so use the appropriate mode for the room. A subwoofer is still useful for deep bass at high levels. These are substantial, roughly 14.5kg cabinets, and the optional hub adds cost rather than being necessary for wired playback.
How it compares: Just above it: AsciLab C8C. Just below it: Kii THREE - $10972 more, 900W more output power.
