Short answer: the Power Sound Audio XS15SE, cheaper and slightly better ranked. It costs $1,499, $811 less than the JBL HDI-1200P and ranks #30 of 212 against #32, with a 15-inch sealed driver delivering a 117.8dB CEA-2010-A average in a compact sealed enclosure. The JBL answers with a dual-ported 1000W 12-inch high-excursion cone at $2,310.
Buy the JBL HDI-1200P or the Power Sound Audio (PSA) XS15SE, whichever you find used in better condition; both are discontinued. For a new speaker, start with the JTR Speakers Captivator 212PRO instead.
