i think if was to use them in my last gig which i played for 600+ people in a VERY large hall, even as monitors, these 8" would NOT suffice...i would probably blow them, and if not they would not put out the quality sound i'm used to hearing from my monitors.

just my opinion, i will continue to use my QSC 12" powered or mackie 450's for monitors, LOVE my QSC's :-)


No thats not "opinion" that's fact. There is no way a 200 watt single amped (or bi-amped) speaker will fill a room of 600 people with 30-15K at any appreciable SP level. One does not have to "hear" them to know this. Nor does one need to have a degree in sound engineering or physics.....Really!! Mackie 350SRMs without a sub would not do the job in that situation either.Unless of course, one does not mind sounding like a boom box 10 rows back,,,
