#87 Pioneer DJ VM-80: $698 per pair Estimated Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Same family: the Pioneer DJ VM-50 (smaller bookshelf, rated 4/5) and the Pioneer DJ VM-70 (smaller bookshelf, ranked higher, estimated 4/5).

Pros: A larger sibling of the VM-50 with a 8” aramid woofer, 1” soft-dome tweeter and a constant-directivity waveguide, bi-amplified by Class D amps (90W woofer, 30W tweeter) through 96kHz DSP. Pioneer specifies 34Hz to 36kHz and up to 115dB, so it plays louder and deeper than the VM-50. Separate low and high DSP selectors offer room and flat settings plus a club bass curve, and it accepts XLR/TRS combo and RCA inputs.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured VM-50. The club bass and bright treble presets are voiced for fun rather than accuracy, so leave them on flat for mixing.
