Short answer: the KV2 Audio EX12 on measured sound quality, the RCF ART 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 ART 932-A ranks #9, rated 4.2/5, at $1,399, $2,081 cheaper.
The case for the RCF ART 932-A: A loud, wide covering 12 inch powered PA speaker with a large compression driver for clear vocals and live mains. The catch: The local low-quality vendor data does not currently produce a preference score, so this position has lower measurement confidence than the QSC, JBL and scored FBT models.
Why pick the KV2 Audio EX12: A highly accurate specialist 12 inch PA speaker with deep bass, very clear vocals and controlled throw. The tradeoff: The 60.4 lbs (27.4 kg) enclosure and premium price make it much less portable and accessible than the mainstream leaders.
