Short answer: the KV2 Audio EX12 on measured sound quality, the RCF NX 932-A on price. The KV2 Audio EX12 ranks #5 of 83 12-inch pa speakers, rated 4.4/5, at $3,480. The RCF NX 932-A ranks #10, rated 4.2/5, at $1,799, $1,681 cheaper.
The case for the KV2 Audio EX12: A highly accurate specialist 12 inch PA speaker with deep bass, very clear vocals and controlled throw. The catch: The 60.4 lbs (27.4 kg) enclosure and premium price make it much less portable and accessible than the mainstream leaders.
What the RCF NX 932-A does well: A powerful 12 inch PA speaker in a plywood cabinet with a large compression driver, built for clear vocals over wide areas. Watch for: 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.
Buy the KV2 Audio EX12 if sound quality is the priority over the price, or the RCF NX 932-A if the price is the priority over sound quality.
