Short answer: the Onn Large Party gen 2 on value. The page calls it an insane value speaker, with the caveat that it is not quite as loud as the old one. The Electro-Voice Everse 12 brings good midrange and treble but is not stereo, so the Onn is the cheaper route unless you need a stereo image.
Buy the Electro-Voice Everse 12 ($1,046.91) for a battery-powered PA speaker; the Onn Large Party gen 2 ($129) suits a party speaker instead.
