Speakers Question: EAW old school vs. JBL EON515xt with powered sub

[sss18734]

May be a dumb question but what would be reasons not too?

Because they're hideous...

[djboudreaux]

Haha, that's your only reason? They're a big black box, just like every other speaker, I guess I'll go tell the guy who made half a milli of them that he's hideous. Give me some solid reasoning bro.

Weddings put a huge emphasis on appearance. Showing up with those would be totally unprofessional and inappropriate.

A high school gym, maybe. But you're still better off keeping your tops and subs seperate instead of combining them inside those bulky, ugly, outdated speakers.

Is that solid reasoning... bro?

[djboudreaux]

Haha, yea bro xD thanks.

The Mackie Thump's get good reviews from some of the folks here and are reasonably priced, pair them up with an 18' Powered Sub and you should be pretty good to go, would be well worth adding another sub when you can afford it and would make stacking easier as you can mount them on a pole each side rather than separate stands. In total that should work out around $1200 - 1300.

Another option would be Behringer's (which now have a 3 yr warranty) - they sound pretty damn good for the $, every disco bar and hire company around here is using them and haven't from any of the guys that i've asked if any failed yet.

Talking Mackie Thumps, and more so, Behringer in the same thread as EAW is like bringing a ford festiva to a car show filled with classic restored muscle cars.

Those Behringers are more like a Toyota Prius at a muscle car show.

Smarter and highly efficient.

and don't sound anywhere near as good.

Agree with SSS...those big boxes would seriously put a damper on an elegantly decorated wedding. HS Dance, Out door events they'd be find. If your on a budget give a serious look at the EV Live X line. I had a pair of thumps for casual playing and the EV's blow them away.

you forgot completely worthless when looking for high output quality performance.

JBL Eons arent exactly high end either ...

Portability/Uglyness vs Volume and Quality is really what it will really boil down to and only something the OP can decide.

Probably the best suggestion so far ... hate the idea of playing without a sub to fill out a room mind you.
