Short answer: the Seeburg K20. Both are rated 3.6/5 for sound quality (#22 and #21 of 42 10-inch pa speakers), and the Seeburg K20 costs $1,969 against $2,902 for the DAS Audio ARTEC 510A, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it.
The case for the Seeburg K20: A loud passive PA speaker with two 10 inch woofers and a large compression driver, suited to installs paired with a subwoofer. The tradeoff: Bass reaches only about 95Hz (-3dB) and on-axis narrow-band deviation is 0.562, so the response is uneven and thin without a subwoofer.
The case for the DAS Audio ARTEC 510A: A powered 10 inch installation speaker with a wide pattern that spreads sound evenly across seated rooms, in a birch plywood cabinet. The tradeoff: Listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.485 and predicted in-room smoothness is 0.507, less even than the best 10-inch boxes.
Buy the Seeburg K20. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $933 less than the DAS Audio ARTEC 510A.
