They sound great! I can only compare them to my old keys amp (Peavey KB300). Not as much low end (that had a 15" speaker) as that amp but I wouldn't expect that. Much easier to carry! They are not as loud as I expected, but I'm suspecting my little Behringer audio interface of not putting out a very good signal. I don't have any other pro line-level gear to compare it with anymore, but I suspect I have quite a bit of headroom left. That said, on 7 they were as loud as I could comfortably stand in my bedroom "test studio"

Perhaps they are better against a "beat up old amp" but jeeeze how much lower than 30Hz do you need to go. The E string on a Bass guitar gets as low as 41 HZ...and a 5 string even higher than 30 hz!!

listening to speakers and having them sound as good five feet away in a 240 SF room and 50 feet away in a 2400 SF room is a whole different experience and requires a whole different set of technological parameters and a huge stretch of the imagination to make that palatable not to mention a driver that can push enough air that far to deliver even an E string's fundamental frequency at 50 feet.

i think these 8" are probably great for your bedroom, or nursing home gig, like Kingfrog said for a room approx. 250SF,

BUT
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 :-)

I did buy the 10's, we will see over the weekend, as I should get them on Friday.

I used to have some Carvin 15's but they were just way to big to haul around.

I too will have the 10s tomorrow. I played a fairly large room tonight to 'rocker' type younger nursing folks. I cranked up and these little gems DELIVERED (I still only had them on 2pm). Man, I cannot believe how terrific they sound - extremely clean and plenty of punch. The 10s will be the road and 8s studio - all I need
