Short answer: the Kling Freitag CA 106 Pro, if you are buying new. The Turbosound NuQ62 ranks higher than it (#12 vs #18 of 39 compact 5 to 6.5-inch pa speakers, 3.6/5 vs 3.5/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Kling Freitag CA 106 Pro is still sold new at $1,045.
The Turbosound NuQ62 is the more accurate, deeper-bass pick. 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 2.53 for the Kling Freitag CA 106 Pro. Its bass reaches about 73Hz before falling 3dB, against 132Hz for the Kling Freitag CA 106 Pro. The tradeoff: The Spinorama data is low quality, and predicted in-room smoothness of 0.356 is the weakest of the group.
The case for the Kling Freitag CA 106 Pro: A passive 6.5 inch installation speaker with a rotatable horn for even coverage, suited to distributed systems with a subwoofer. The catch: Bass rolls off early, about 69Hz at -10dB, so it needs a subwoofer for music, and its 125dB peak output suits near-field and moderate-distance use rather than large rooms.
Buy the Kling Freitag CA 106 Pro, since the Turbosound NuQ62 is discontinued and only worth hunting down used.
