Short answer: the Kling Freitag CA 106 Pro. It ranks #18 of 39 compact 5 to 6.5-inch pa speakers by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $1,045. The Seeburg X1 ranks #19, rated 3.4/5, at $866, $179 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The case for the Kling Freitag CA 106 Pro: A passive 6.5 inch installation speaker with a rotatable horn for even coverage, suited to distributed systems with a subwoofer. The catch: Bass rolls off early, about 69Hz at -10dB, so it needs a subwoofer for music, and its 125dB peak output suits near-field and moderate-distance use rather than large rooms.
The Seeburg X1 is the deeper-bass pick. A small passive coaxial speaker for fills, small rooms and speech, with consistent coverage and wall or ceiling mounting points. Its bass reaches about 97.5Hz before falling 3dB, against 132Hz for the Kling Freitag CA 106 Pro. The tradeoff: Bass is very limited, at 97.5Hz for -3dB and about 85Hz for -10dB, so it needs a subwoofer for any music at volume.
Buy the Kling Freitag CA 106 Pro. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $179 with the Seeburg X1 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
