Look, you guys have a special relationship here. You play rooms of 30 people.Maybe restaurants, Nursing homes,perhaps more low volume low energy venues, There is a much older group here, with different needs and clients than I expected. That's a different world than we live in at the moment and I do understand your choices based on the demographic. Gary's "set up video" hammered that home.
The fact that a handful of buyers on this board seemed to have created a sell out tells me they are not heavily stocked and demand is not all that. A handful of people bought them based on their friendship and trust on this board.
That's what I think, Fran. I still would not buy a pair reading things like...they are "better" then the Bose, people selling Mackie SRMS...(perhaps the Mackies are too heavy or they are over kill for 30-50 people)Thats not to say powered Speakers CANNOT reproduce 30Hz (The new Event Opals do just that but they have a 24mm excursion range in the woofer and cost $1500 each)but I am not hearing with others ears.
This is a different world than I'm used to and a different mindset. We buy the best we can for the largest venues first, then we consider weight and size. Cost is not a factor because they pay for themselves.
We only want ONE system for all needs. Thats why we bought the Bose Systems.(Not to mention they are universally proven and accepted to a point where 7 orders won't wipe out the entire US Stock pile. They serve every need wonderfully and most venues indoors and out.Really large venues provide a house system. I see nothing that will replace them for our needs.
I am happy for you your recommendation has been met with positive result from the community. I know that's important to you, more important than the speakers may be considering your pride in the pages of interest as well. Good for you. I look forward to your next find. Perhaps it will be something we can use.

Kingfrog, I understand your logic, but you are grossly wrong in your evaluation of performers here..
I can speak for myself....Everything (musical) I own is top of the line gear..
My keyboards..G70, MediaStation.
My sound systems..The best Roland amps made, and top Yorkville system..
My PC's and laptops are also top line equipped..
I too believe in using the best..where we differ, you are associating an unknown brand with not being equal to the challenge..
I purchased the 802's with a specific idea where to use them..They exceeded my expectations, and I shared my findings..Since then, several people (is it five?) have found the same results..
As for OFD sales..they are a specific selling company (speakers), and they have over 17,000 positive feed backs from Ebay sales alone....Does that tell you any thing?
Respectfully..Fran
BTW: my audiences range from 150-3000 people..
