But, tommorow could bring other options.....I finished playing with sub-standard sounding PC speakers, little underpowered units, suedo stereo boloney amps,..............as far as powered speakers go I am very happy with the Mackie line for sure!!...hey Scott Yee...Look at my Biceps

Hi Donny

Usually I just set the Eons on the floor tilted up. There is more than enough bass in the situations that you can do that, which is the majority of time. When I use the sub which is not needed very often, I use the z5500 Logitech sub only. It weighs 34 lbs, I haul it in a rolling duffle bag. It has more bottom by far than I would ever need or want.

If a little more omph is needed the UB802 Behringer mixer makes a noticable difference in the headroom department.

I put marine web belting handles on the Eons for very easy and balanced transport. I just took off the speaker plate, inserted the belting, and screwed the plate back on. Otherwise they're a little lopsided when trying to use their idea of a handle.

They work for me on about 98% of my needs. But, interestingly enough, the few times that I wished I had more volume, I was asked to turn down. Interesting how we perceive it and how the paying customer and audience sees it.

These would end your search for a small set up. If in your case you need more for the bigger jobs then you can pull out the Mackies.

They're just 23 lbs. Just plug and play.
