Short answer: choose between the RCF NX 932-A and HK Audio LINEAR 7 112 XA for the deployment, not from the automatic ranking alone. Their driver format, power requirements, coverage, bass reach, output capability, and control features determine which is the more practical PA for a particular room or system.
The case for the RCF NX 932-A. A 3-inch titanium compression-driver diaphragm, 100° x 70° coverage and plywood cabinet make it especially capable for clear vocals over wide areas. The 2100W amplifier, advanced RCF processing and 132dB peak claim support serious main-speaker use.
The case for the HK Audio LINEAR 7 112 XA. High-quality vendor data gives it a 5.66 ideal-subwoofer preference score, and networked 10-band parametric EQ, delay and filtering support sophisticated system tuning. Its rotatable horn and monitor enclosure are flexible for stage or main use.
Important trade-offs. 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. At 50.5 lbs (22.9 kg) it is significantly heavier than the ART 932-A. At 46.3 lbs (21 kg) it is manageable but not especially light.
Buy the RCF NX 932-A when its stated format, coverage, and system features fit the job better.
Buy the HK Audio LINEAR 7 112 XA when its stated output, control, and deployment strengths better match the system.

Frequency Response Compared
Both speakers’ spinorama measurements, overlaid. A flatter line is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. Each curve is shifted so its average from 300 Hz to 3 kHz sits at 0 dB, so loudness differences between the two are removed and only the shape is compared.
