Short answer: the Vue Audiotechnik A-10. It ranks #16 of 42 10-inch pa speakers by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $1,200; the d&b audiotechnik V10P ranks #24, rated 3.6/5, and costs $5,600, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The case for the Vue Audiotechnik A-10: A passive 10 inch point source PA speaker for installers who want to pick their own amplifier and processing. The catch: Being passive, it needs an external amplifier and processing to perform correctly, adding cost and complexity that self-powered rivals avoid.
The d&b audiotechnik V10P is the deeper-bass option. A high output passive touring speaker with two 10 inch woofers and a wide horn pattern for covering broad rooms. Its bass reaches about 65Hz before falling 3dB, against 80Hz for the Vue Audiotechnik A-10. Watch for: A wide 4.6dB reference band and 0.659 listening-window deviation mean tonal balance is less even than the d&b audiotechnik V7P, with a 2.44 standalone score.
Buy the Vue Audiotechnik A-10. It is rated higher for sound quality than the d&b audiotechnik V10P and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
