#18 GoldenEar ForceField 3: $650 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Independent CEA-2010 testing records 110.2 dB (avg of 3/4 bands) through 40-80 Hz. The passive radiator enclosure with 8” (203mm) driver is a compact way to add useful midbass support to a modest system.
Cons: Without a published 20 Hz result, deep-bass capability is less certain than the midbass figure. The 292.1H x 288.8W x 400.0D mm cabinet and 11.8 kg mass still need careful placement and calibration. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Polk Audio PSW10 - $441 cheaper. Just below it: MartinLogan Dynamo 700w - $349 more, 1.2dB less max output.
