Re: OT: Hey Loopers< MF is blowing out Mackie SRM 350 p.a.portable PA speakers

["Krispen Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

I uses the 350s as floor monitors, or side fills. For the bigger stages, I 
uses those plus two EV SxA100 powered 12" speakers. I just chain from one 
to 
the other, L and R.

I have the RCF powered 12"s for mains, along with two of the Mackie 
SWA1501s.   Kick butt system. I used it for my festival this year and it 
was 
crystal clear, loud, etc.

I love the RCFs, but realistically there is no "dramatic" difference 
between 
them, the Mackie's, and JBLs. Anyone who has something to gain from 
promoting either of these (sales people, people endorsed by them, people 
who 
already own them and are justifying their purchases after the fact, etc) 
will no doubt claim that they sound radically different, which is 
expected, 
bu not hard data for a sound decision. For most pracitcal contexts, either 
is fine in my option. I've never been to a show where these three brands 
sounded bad or inferior, so we are really starting to spice hairs and get 
into personal preference.

This topic caught my interest because I am looking for one or two
powered floor monitors.  I know that I could get a couple more SRM450s
and that would work... however, I'm wondering if the 350s would work
ok as floor monitors?

After all, they are less expensive, smaller, and lighter.  Any thoughts?
