Short answer: the Axiom ED120A. It ranks #18 of 83 12-inch pa speakers by sound quality, rated 4.0/5, at $1,790; the Seeburg X6 ranks #23, rated 3.9/5, and costs $1,975, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Axiom ED120A is the deeper-bass option. A good sounding professional 12 inch powered PA speaker with deep bass, remote control and an asymmetric horn for installs. Its bass reaches about 60Hz before falling 3dB, against 80Hz for the Seeburg X6. The tradeoff: The 132dB claimed peak is competitive rather than class-leading, and the asymmetric 60°-to-100° pattern needs more deliberate aiming than a conventional symmetric horn.
Why pick the Seeburg X6: A loud, easy to drive passive coaxial 12 inch PA speaker with consistent sound across its pattern, ideal for bands and venues. Watch for: Bass reaches 80Hz at -3dB and about 66Hz at -10dB, so a subwoofer is still needed for full-range music.
Buy the Axiom ED120A. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Seeburg X6 and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
