Short answer: the Seeburg X4. It ranks #9 of 42 10-inch pa speakers by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $1,369; the d&b audiotechnik V7P ranks #14, rated 3.8/5, and costs $5,600, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The case for the Seeburg X4: A compact passive coaxial 10 inch PA speaker with smooth, consistent sound that works as a stage monitor or pole mounted top. Watch for: Bass drops early, at 95Hz for -3dB and about 70Hz for -10dB, so a subwoofer is needed for full-range music.
The d&b audiotechnik V7P is the deeper-bass choice. A high output passive touring speaker with two 10 inch woofers and a horn loaded midrange, built to throw sound across large venues. Its bass reaches about 65Hz before falling 3dB, against 95Hz for the Seeburg X4. The tradeoff: The 3.0dB reference band and 0.566 listening-window deviation mean tonal balance is less even than the best 10-inch models.
Buy the Seeburg X4. It is rated higher for sound quality than the d&b audiotechnik V7P and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
