Thats interesting ive played with the 450s for years
and i always thought they sounded too brittle and
hissy but that is just my opinion.I also found them a
bit heavy to carry,this is why i recently opted for
the RCFs,they are only 300 watts with a 10" but they
sound big have a nice spread out sound and weight a
lot less,and i am also thinking of adding the Db
technologies sub 15 subwoofer for that nice thump.I
dont know how it is in the states but here people are
very sensitive to loudness(except for the church bells
beer festivals and carnavals offocurse)sometimes they
even start asking if its going to be too loud before
you even start playing!so this is what made me choose
this speakers,i mean how loud do we need it or whats a
nice and loud level for 300 to 400 hundred people
venues or pubs which wont be sending people out the
door calling the cops?has this been mesured or anybody
has a link? and bigger venues often have their own
sound systems anyway so why kill my back!
cheers
