#28 RCF HD 12-A MK5: $600.00 B&H Photo Video Guitar Center eBay

Pros: The current 18.3kg cabinet offers 130dB claimed peak output, 90° x 60° coverage and RCF FiRPHASE/Bass Motion Control processing at a comparatively accessible price. Medium-quality vendor data indicates useful extension into the low 60Hz region.

Cons: The truncated Spinorama measurement cannot produce a preference score, so tonal confidence is lower than for the fully scored leaders. Controls are intentionally simple and omit app control, networking and a multi-input mixer.

How it compares: Just above it: HK Audio LINEAR 5 112 XA - $200 more. Just below it: LD Systems Stinger 12 A G3 - $14 cheaper.
