Short answer: the Coda Audio HOPS5. It ranks #7 of 39 compact 5 to 6.5-inch pa speakers by sound quality (rated 3.8/5) at $1,650 and is still sold new; the Turbosound NuQ62 ranks #12 (rated 3.6/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
What the Coda Audio HOPS5 does well: A weatherproof passive coaxial speaker with wide coverage, strong output, and a light cabinet for fills and installs. The tradeoff: Bass reaches only about 90Hz (-3dB), and listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.478, so it sounds thin and slightly uneven without a subwoofer.
The Turbosound NuQ62 is the deeper-bass pick. An affordable passive 6.5 inch PA speaker from a major brand, now discontinued, with a light cabinet and fairly deep bass. Its bass reaches about 73Hz before falling 3dB, against 90Hz for the Coda Audio HOPS5. Watch for: The Spinorama data is low quality, and predicted in-room smoothness of 0.356 is the weakest of the group.
Buy the Coda Audio HOPS5. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Turbosound NuQ62 is discontinued, so it is only available used.
