Well then, this is a splash, this monitor basically throws all the en vogue technologies in a single product and does it at a price that is impressively low for its reported capability.
And it looks really nice too.

The Palmer ORBIT 11 is an active coaxial 3-way studio monitor designed for mixing, mastering, post-production, sound design, broadcasting, and content creation. Its coaxial True Point Source design combines a 6.5″ midrange driver and a 1″ tweeter on a single acoustic axis and provides consistent 120° × 120° dispersion for stable imaging and reliable balance across the listening area.
The controlled, consistent dispersion pattern helps to maintain reliable balance and translation, while the cardioid front baffle reduces rearward energy to limit room interaction.
Low frequencies are handled by two impulse-compensated 8″ woofers mounted in a sealed, die-cast aluminium enclosure with 5 to 16 mm wall thickness, which is designed to counteract mechanical forces and minimise cabinet vibration, delivering an impressively deep bass response down to 28 Hz.
Internal processing operates at 96 kHz/24-bit with FIR filtering for linear-phase behaviour and time-coherent driver integration.
For fast setup, the top-mounted control panel provides direct access to the input pad, 3-band EQ, Desk and Rear Wall presets, and an 80 Hz high-pass filter. Connectivity options include a balanced XLR line input and AES3 via XLR, with an AES3 Thru output for daisy-chaining.
For wall or ceiling installation, the ORBIT 11 features threaded mounting points and an M8 eye-bolt point for safety attachment, and it is compatible with the Gravity Tilt-and-Swivel Mount GSPWMBS20B.
Engineered in Germany with musical sensitivity, the ORBIT 11 is built for reliable monitoring with time-coherent reproduction and extended low-frequency response, made for those who listen.
Coaxial true point source (6.5" mid + 1" tweeter)
Impulse compensated dual 8" woofers for tight, resonance-free bass
True 3-way design for full-range accuracy and clarity
1000 W Class-D amplifier delivers high dynamic range
Cardioid design for controlled directivity and reduced room interaction
120° ×120° constant directivity provides uniform coverage
FIR filters for linear phase with minimal latency
Ultra Wide frequency range (28 Hz–28 kHz @ -3 dB)
Advanced low-end design improves wall coupling and reduces cancellations
Clean control panel with desk & wall presets for efficient setup
High-resolution 96 kHz / 24-bit DAC and DSP
Analog and AES3 inputs for seamless integration
Die-cast aluminium housing for ultra-low resonance
Black or white finish for your individual style
And the price is 799€ per unit, that's really low for what it accomplishes. Incredible.
Also, Palmer is a brand form the Adam Hall Group, which is a huge German conglomerate that has multiple brands that cover touring, lighting, studio gear....
And it looks really nice too.
