Short answer: the Coda Audio G515 if sound quality matters most, the RCF ART 715-A MK5 if price matters most. The Coda Audio G515 ranks #27 of 76 15-inch pa speakers, rated 3.7/5, at $2,845. The RCF ART 715-A MK5 ranks #30, rated 3.6/5, at $649, $2,196 cheaper.
What the Coda Audio G515 does well: A light passive 15 inch PA speaker with high sensitivity and rotatable coverage for flexible full range use. The catch: The wide 3.8dB reference band means tonal balance is less even than the best 15-inch speakers.
The RCF ART 715-A MK5 is the deeper-bass option. An affordable, compact powered 15 inch PA speaker with loud output and simple onboard processing. Its bass reaches about 65Hz before falling 3dB, against 77.5Hz for the Coda Audio G515. Watch for: The local low-quality manufacturer data has no computed preference score, making its measured tonal position uncertain.
Buy the Coda Audio G515 when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the RCF ART 715-A MK5 when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
