Be very jealous, guys. I just got off the phone with Sasha!

She's going to let me know when the powered 8's get in, but I was looking around the warehouse, and found a small 150 watt (75 per side) Crate amplifier I bought a year ago, which I have used to power two Peavy monitors by lining out of the pa into the Crate.

I just ordered two small 8" cabintets from our "girl" (told her to tell her husband not to worry too much about the male attention from Synthzone members).

I'll let you know, but plan to put one in each of two different dining rooms at a restaurant I work. The Peaveys are pretty flat, and these may be better. Not the same speaker as is in the powered units, but Sasha says they're pretty good, and we ALL believe what she tells us. They also don't have handles, and that may be a problem.

They should be in mid-next week.

"but Sasha says they're pretty good, and we ALL believe what she tells us"

oh, ye of course we should believe Sasha,
i bet she also uses them at her gigs or in her house...

ye these things rock, why pay so much for all that crap like QSC, Yorkville Barbetta, Mackie, Turbo Sound, Bose, JBL, EAW ???

listen to Sasha will you ;-)

Whoa! Who's Sasha?

If you are not in the market for the 802s, just ignore the posts about them. Why keep instigating trouble?
You can save SO much time ignoring the things you aren't interested in, as I ignore Mediastation, Wersi, Softsynth, Mallard Ducks, etc, posts. I also stop reading every post that turns into a shouting match.
I'm pretty sure that soon there will not be enough things that interest me to justify wading through the crap.
I like my 802s a lot so far, and I have several other very expensive pa systems.
Russ, I assure you that in my opinion they sound better than any Peaveys within $500. of them.

i think she's a world-renowned audio-sound engineer ;-)

On the phone, she's a nice kid and sounds like she knows what she's talking about.

Don is right. If these little guys are any good, I'll let you know. If not, I'll let you know.

Either way, it's totally up to the individual.

What's there to argue about?

Nothing, in my opinion.

Russ,

You might want to consider the 10s instead. They are very portable, very powerful and clean and have a built-in handle. Also, are in stock for $40 more to your door.

I have both and the 10s are my favorite.

zuki, can you post pic of speaker's handle , side pic i guess...

the pic on their website doesn't show it.

thanks

Hey, Jim. The cabinets I have ordered are the non-powered ones. I have several pairs of 10's
(non-powered). Can't really think of an advantage to having powered ones, except for the reduction of one piece-a separate amplifier.

I'll think about the 10's vs. the 8's and decide when Sasha calls telling me the 8's are here.

Take care,


Russ
