Are you saying that the Peavey PR10's have the same kind of volume and sound as the JBL 10 Eon G2's??
That's very interesting. Although when I tried the Peavey 10's a couple years ago, I don't remember if they were powered or not, but I did have my JBL's right next to them and the ones I tried weren't even close.
I wonder why the dicrepency here? Difference in hearing taste, a change in sound with the new speakers, or possibly I tried the non-powered ones and the store owner didn't have the EQ set right.
Anyway, they didn't sound good at all to me or my wife.
The PR12's sounded quite good and did add a lot more volume and depth to the sound that that was better than either of the two 10's.

I have both the peavey and the jbl and it is so tough to do a good comparison in the store. When you have them home or on the job you can set them up the way you want tweak them and make them sound the same. If I demoed them for you you wouldn't be able to tell which was which.
The music stores can use all kinds of little "tricks" to make you believe anything. How many times have you bought something got it home, used it, and was disappointed.
I used to know a guy that would compare his cheap mics with the sm58 by taking all the mids out of the 58 and adding it to his mic. Of course the 58 sounded terrible and his $40 mic sounded comparable, until you got it home set the eqs the same and listened.
He also did the same with speakers.
