Short answer: the Yamaha DXR15mkIII. Both are rated 3.8/5 for sound quality (#20 and #19 of 76 15-inch pa speakers), and the Yamaha DXR15mkIII costs $1,099.99 against $4,125 for the Coda Audio G715, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it.
The case for the Coda Audio G715: A loud three way passive 15 inch PA speaker with a coaxial mid and high driver and rotatable coverage for touring. Watch for: Bass measures 87.5Hz at -3dB and about 56.5Hz at -10dB, less extended than a 15-inch woofer suggests, so it still needs a subwoofer.
The Yamaha DXR15mkIII is the deeper-bass option. A powered 15 inch PA speaker with loud output, app control and Yamaha’s latest onboard DSP. Its bass reaches about 54.5Hz before falling 3dB, against 87.5Hz for the Coda Audio G715. The catch: The low-quality local data is truncated and cannot produce a preference score, so its tonal advantage over the proven Yamaha DXR15mkII is unconfirmed.
Buy the Yamaha DXR15mkIII. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $3,025.01 less than the Coda Audio G715.
