You can't go wrong with a decent JBL, EV, or QSC. The other cheaper ones, while decent, aren't that great either. One exception being Alto. They still aren't as good as JBL, EV or QSC, but they're alot of bang for the buck.
And I'm not a fan of Mackie. They used to be great in the '90s, but lost their way, imho. |

I've heard the QSC K series powered speakers on a number of occasions and they're always delivering impressive sound quality.
I'd head straight for them. QSC is my preferred pro audio company for power amplifiers and powered speakers. Try them, you WILL like them and may allow yourself to stretch your budget to get them. Mackie has become junk. I would avoid it like the plague. |

we have been using the QSC K series in a portable church for over 10 years and they take a beating and keep on kicking butt

Yes they are definately more that I planned to spend , but I am of the "buy once cry once" mind set . They get great reviews , I may need to go to a Guitar Center and see if I can hear a pair . Are you guys using 15s or 12's , I was initially thinking 15's but these 12's are closer to my price range , class d amplification . You think they would suit my needs ? 12" class D 1000 watt 15" option K12.2 Quote HistoryQuoted:

If you'd consider doing it now, however, you could actually go with the 10" variety and save yourself $200 on your two top cabinets (two K10.2s for $699 each plus one sub). To be honest, I always thought the K10 sounded better than the K12 anyway. |

Of course. It will handle anything. Just don't expect much low-end thump from the kick without a sub. |

The K12s have a very nice tonal balance to them. I'd say that they easily sound better all by themselves than the vast majority of stereo systems most people own, plus they can play louder and stay clean. The K15s will of course have more bass to them but I'd prefer the 12s since for extra bass I'd go with a sub anyway.

I'm curious, what don't you like about the SRX? I have a pair of PRX835Ws and they sound good to my ears. But they're around $1k/each. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I can go into detail if you want. It's annoying stuff like the fact that they're heavy and cumbersome. Those plastic knobs/buttons are coming off the backs of ours, which pisses me off to no end. Said knobs/buttons (if they stay on) have a "squishy" feel to them when operated. We have one (out of seven) that, after a few months, has lost some of its high-end. The horn isn't blown, it's like there's just a general reduction in the highs compared to the others. Don't know yet what's going on. Just not living up to what I'd expect from something at that price point. |

Full disclosure here, the QSC stuff I used was from a few years ago (K10, K12, KW153, KW181).
Haven't used any of the newer ".2" stuff that I can recall. |

It isn't so much the sound quality. That is acceptable (though still not as good as QSC K Series IMO). It's annoying stuff like the fact that they're heavy and cumbersome.
