Short answer: the Meyer Sound Ultra X20, if you are buying new. The Turbosound NuQ62 measures as well as it (#12 vs #11 of 39 compact 5 to 6.5-inch pa speakers, 3.6/5 vs 3.6/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Meyer Sound Ultra X20 is still sold new at $5,540.
What the Meyer Sound Ultra X20 does well: A slim self-powered fill speaker with surprisingly deep bass for two 5 inch woofers and a built in amplifier. The tradeoff: Its standalone score trails its narrower-coverage Meyer Sound Ultra X22 sibling.
The Turbosound NuQ62 is the more accurate choice. An affordable passive 6.5 inch PA speaker from a major brand, now discontinued, with a light cabinet and fairly deep bass. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 3.39 against 2.88 for the Meyer Sound Ultra X20. The tradeoff: The Spinorama data is low quality, and predicted in-room smoothness of 0.356 is the weakest of the group.
Buy the Meyer Sound Ultra X20 new; the Turbosound NuQ62 is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.
