I traded DNJ my Roland E50 for his HK Nano last summer. I love it. Getting another so I can have twice as much power and for backup. One, in stereo, covers the room I normally play very nicely. Around 75 people. There is a lot of headroom left. I haven't really cranked it all the way up. I like the nice warm tone a lot.
Not better than the Bose, but different. I just like to change things up sometimes.

Oh NO!!! your complaining about weight ?

Roland KCW1

I've always wondered what that KCW1 sounded like with just a 10" speaker. Did it really keep up with those Mackies?

Bill.....It was a nice setup with the SRM powered 350's I just got tired of lugging three pieces of PA around plus the other stuff...otherwise it sounded pretty good good highs....deep bass for med size gigs.....actually I acquired it in a trade deal from my Uncle Dave if I recall correctly?

I really like the NANO. For $299 GC blowout, they offer incredible stereo with little setup. I think the cubes (mono) on the woofer is perfect too.

The 150s crackle at any hint of bass, but are nice other than that.

Nano for 299???? Tell me more!

GC had that deal for a couple weeks and they were sold out in no time at all. Now they're asking $1,100 for the system, and over $600 for a blemished model.

Gary

I already have a Mackie SWA1501 for the main PA. Don't really need ANOTHER big, heavy sub.

I'm a little cautious about retasking home audio stuff for pro use. Had a fair bit of it blow up or fart out when brought up to gig volumes, but I'll look into those Best Buy alternatives.

I'd really like something akin to the Bose subs for the L1 system, that's about the form factor and weight point I'm looking for...

The sub on the Logitechs (and the entire system) have shown outstanding longevity and durability for me. I had a couple of Z2200s for maybe 8 or 10 years. Z5500 almost that long. One 2200 is in my office now and I still use it daily for computer sound and practice system. The 5500 is in the living room for surround sound.
I screwed a handle on one of the 2200 subs for easier carrying. The satellites fit on converted folding music stands. I think Gary made the connectors. Got it used from him or DNJ, used it a long time off and on for small jobs and backup. Now Dean Mathis has it for NH jobs, and it is still going strong. It all fits neatly in a small overnight back from Walmart.

I believe the sub with my Logitech Z-2300's, a more recent model, is pretty much the same as that with the Z-2200. It's very capable.
