Your Move
If you have the depth and want the value play, the Mevo+ is still available on clearance — but stock is running out because it’s discontinued. The Mevo Gen2 ($1,299) is the successor if you miss the clearance window.
If you have a shallow room or want the absolute best and have the budget, the iO is sitting there waiting for you.
Don’t overthink this. Measure your room. Check your budget. Pick the one that fits.
