Short answer: choose between the FBT Mitus 115A and Electro-Voice MFX-15MC for the deployment, not from the automatic ranking alone. Their driver format, power requirements, coverage, bass reach, output capability, and control features determine which is the more practical PA for a particular room or system.
The case for the FBT Mitus 115A. Medium-quality vendor data returns a 4.87 ideal-subwoofer preference score, continuing the Mitus 112A’s B&C neodymium woofer and rotatable horn design in a 15-inch cabinet aimed at premium main-speaker use.
The case for the Electro-Voice MFX-15MC. Medium-quality vendor data returns a 5.01 ideal-subwoofer preference score with 67Hz measured extension, the strongest result of any coaxial monitor in this ranking. The coaxial 15-inch design gives compact 60° x 40° coverage and a claimed 135dB peak with recommended amplification.
Important trade-offs. This is not self-powered: it requires an external amplifier and can run passive or externally bi-amplified, so it is less convenient than every conventional powered cabinet here. The narrow pattern is aimed primarily at stage-monitor and short-throw fill use rather than wide-audience main duty.
Buy the FBT Mitus 115A when its stated format, coverage, and system features fit the job better.
Buy the Electro-Voice MFX-15MC when its stated output, control, and deployment strengths better match the system.

Frequency Response Compared
Both speakers’ spinorama measurements, overlaid. A flatter line is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. Each curve is shifted so its average from 300 Hz to 3 kHz sits at 0 dB, so loudness differences between the two are removed and only the shape is compared.
