#35 Palmer Orbit 11: $766 Thomann eBay
Pros: A 27.8Hz measured -3dB point provides genuinely deep standalone bass. The 1.8dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz supports even mids, and the coaxial arrangement offers a compact acoustic source for nearfield listening.
Cons: Its 6.20 ideal-subwoofer score is more modest than the narrow midrange span alone suggests; response outside that band and off-axis behavior also matter. Deep-bass extension does not prove high-level headroom. Studio-oriented connections and setup are less convenient than an all-in-one consumer pair.
How it compares: Just above it: JBL M2 Master Reference Monitor - $14234 more. Just below it: Focal Trio6 ST6 - $2733 more.
