Brand: RCF
#5 RCF KX 45-A: $4,618.50 B&H Photo Video $4,618.50 eBay
Same family: the RCF KX 08-A (smaller model, rated 3.9/5), the RCF KX 10-A (smaller model, rated 4/5) and the RCF KX 32-A (smaller model, rated 4.3/5).
Pros: A flagship powered 15 inch PA speaker with huge amplifier power, very loud peaks, remote control and rotatable coverage. RCF’s flagship 15-inch point source pairs a 3200W amplifier with a 3-inch titanium-dome compression driver, RDNet remote control and a 137dB claimed peak, the highest maximum-output claim in this ranking. Rotatable 100° x 70° coverage suits both main and monitor use.
Cons: The local measurement is truncated and cannot produce a preference score. At 28.4kg it is one of the heaviest boxes here, and pricing/retail availability are not yet established.

Frequency Response
How the RCF KX 45-A measures across the audible range. A flatter listening window (the sound arriving straight at you) is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. The estimated in-room response adds what a typical room does, and there a gentle, even tilt down toward the treble is ideal. Both curves are shifted so their 300 Hz to 3 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: spinorama.org, measured by the manufacturer.
EQ for a Neutral Response
No EQ preset: the best simple EQ we can fit to these measurements improves the predicted preference score by less than 0.2. The listening window is already close to flat, and what holds the score back, such as narrow ripple in the response or uneven output off-axis, is not something EQ can fix without making it worse elsewhere.
