Gary, they are great, but I actually prefer the smaller 31C. They seem to have punchier bass response, and are even smaller and lighter.
The 32 has a little longer throw though.

Don based on your advice I purchase a 31c about 2 years ago. It has served me well and you're right about the weight factor. My wife picked it up loaded it into the SUV for
Saturday's gig. Under doctor's it will be a few weeks before I'm allowed to pick up more than 1o pounds. She also loaded and unloaded my pa2xpro at 39 pounds she struggled with that a bit, but managed and was my roadie for the gig. Ah, life is good!!

I also took DonM's advise & traded my Barbetta 32c for the lighter & more compact Barbetta 31c & I am very happy with the sound.
Thanks Don!

the K4 is 57+ lbs, according to Traynor, not the 50 lbs it was first advertised at which they admit was a mistake..so 60 for Donny is not that big a step..i wouldn't consider any amp over 40 lb-- but i really would like to
know why Donny and his bud Fran both went gaga
over the K4..and now suddenly he thinks he has
found something significantly better from the same parent company. Tell us DNJ!!!!

Better? No....More powerful yes....

Just because a change is made doesn’t mean something is wrong….I don’t see why the obsession with weight always comes up when I don’t really lift them anyway at gigs....I'd rather bring a little more quality & weight with me then playing out using computer speakers like I've seen some people do
I load my Rock & Roller Kart & into the gig I go 1 trip.
Our needs are very different for our gigging situations....so what I do & what others do are totally different & have needs as such....the Traynor K4 is a killer KB amp with super sound, flexibility & tubes to soften your sound if needed. ...Make no mistake sound wise it’s in a class that is hard to beat period.
I have sound gear for smaller gigs but for my big ones which are all dance orientated & have to pump the floor I just need a bit more in way of power & speaker size to cover the audience & room size, hence the upgrade in a nutshell. The Yorkville NX 750p’s should fit the bill nicely they make quality gear & during A/B’ing against many TOTL powered speakers they sound the best to my ears in many ways and should do the job admirably.

Stay well

Enjoy your music
