Short answer: choose between the Vue Audiotechnik A-10 and RCF ART 710-A MK5 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 Vue Audiotechnik A-10. Low-quality vendor data shows a 4.93 ideal-subwoofer preference score, and the passive point-source design keeps amplification and DSP choices flexible for installers building out a system.
The case for the RCF ART 710-A MK5. A compact, affordable RCF with a 1.75-inch compression driver, 129dB claimed output and FiRPHASE processing, well suited to buyers who plan to cross to a subwoofer and do not need app control. At 31.3 lbs (14.2 kg) it is easy to carry.
Important trade-offs. Measured bass extension is shallow at roughly 80Hz. The local low-quality manufacturer data has no computed preference score, making its measured tonal position uncertain.
Buy the Vue Audiotechnik A-10 when its stated format, coverage, and system features fit the job better.
Buy the RCF ART 710-A MK5 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.
