The Two Speakers In Full

HK Audio Linear 5 MK2 112 XA: $1,508.02 Amazon eBay

Older model: the HK Audio LINEAR 5 112 XA (rated 3.6/5).

Pros: An active two-way 12-inch PA speaker rated at 1,200W, designed as a multifunctional mid/high unit whose angled cabinet also works as a stage monitor. HK Audio says the MK2 is smaller and lighter than the original Linear 5 at the same output. It has XLR connections and a steel grille with anticorrosive coating.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so it can’t be compared with ranked PA speakers. It is a professional speaker with no Bluetooth or battery.

RCF NX 932-A: $1,499.00 Amazon B&H Photo Video Guitar Center eBay

Pros: A 3-inch titanium compression-driver diaphragm, 100° x 70° coverage and plywood cabinet make it especially capable for clear vocals over wide areas. The 2100W amplifier, advanced RCF processing and 132dB peak claim support serious main-speaker use. Measured bass extension of 61.5Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The medium-quality Spinorama measurement is truncated and cannot generate a preference score, so its high position relies partly on response/directivity curves and published engineering. At 22.9kg it is significantly heavier than the ART 932-A.
