Have these now as my mains. Unbelievable quality and power for powered 8s. I have them in the studio and the sound is so defined, it's scary.

Congrats on your new speakers !
but for me no way could I use any 8" speakers alone no matter the quality, lord knows Ive tried......
to make Bass you have to push air simple as that....
what happened to your QSC's 8" ?....

Our jobs are different, as with our bass tastes! I like a simple balance and lower volumes. Don't rule them out until you try - awesome speakers. These are more defined than the QSC (imo) - I sold them on eBay.

Have you tried the Logitech 2300 speakers many synthzone people like these

I have been using these at my home studio for over a year now... And they just sound great .... No need for a sepperate bass speaker (atleast not for me) but you can allways add a woofer....

In your bedroom is much different then performing nightly for 200-400+ people in a large dance venue....those might work as Tops but you better have a couple of serious Subs underneath them to pump the dance floor...

Surprise: watch the 'entire' video:
or at least up till & thru 1 min :30 sec

Wow! That's literally a "revealing" video, Scott...and the speaker weighs only 19 lbs.

Good Luck !!

Donny,
Nightly!?
Who on this forum 'actually' does that?!

The EV ZxA1 sounds idea for both small-medium & possibly larger rooms where the audience specifically comes to specifically listen to & 'appreciate' a live keyboard/vocal concert performance, and not specifically to dance (thump! thump!). LOL

As I mentioned eariler with the micro-Arranger, it's all about: 'horses for courses'.

I look forward to checking the EV ZxA1's out.
