Hey people!!!! You trying to kill our 13 page thread?...

Hi Don

Interesting statement. I believe you have or used to have some Peavey PR series speakers and also some Behringer B212's or something like that. I would be interested in your comparison between the Podium and the Peaveys and Behringers.

Thanx
Scott

Hi zuki

It seems to me you mentioned your 8" Podiums sounded better than your Mackies. How does the 10"s compare. Which Mackies did you have and what kind of price range where they?

At the risk of a public humiliation (again), I'll say the Podiums to me sound as good as the powered Mackie 450v2s (I just sold). To my ears they sound very clean and plenty powerful enough. I am not saying these are as powerful as the Mackies, just that they are much better for my all around needs:

1. Ease of handling
2. Powerful enough for medium size crowds (I'd say they could easily handle 200 - 250 people)
3. My vocals sound much better through them
4. Great built-in handles
5. Lifetime warranty
6. Inexpensive (to say the least)

Please read the large thread for more detail.

OK, I'll get that done in the next day. Right now, in my car and I'm BEAT......

I see now...you guys forced Nigel to close the thread at 14 pages...

I liked the Behringers o.k. They sounded very good, but I only used them once or twice, and I had a chance to sell one to the Country Club where I occasionally work and the other to the Supper Club where I work steadily. That means any time I'm there I have a back up on the premises if needed.
Brilliant, right!!
The Peaveys I had were not powered, but the Podiums have better balance, lighter weight and cost a little less. And they sound better TO MY EARS.
The Barbettas 31Cs are another story. They are much more powerful than the 802s and have even better bass response. They have separate amps for the bass and horn, and three-band e.q. Of course they cost five times as much.
It's easy to justify having the 802s around "just in case".

If she was, she'd be the first to post here

Are Podium 10" monitors with 220 volts/50 Hz available ?
