Went with Carvins powerd Monitors

[surfnorthwest]

After much research into mobile powered monitors it came down to the JBL EONs, Mackie SRM 450, and Carvins LM15A. I decided after looking into the flexibility and specs and weight you simply cannot beat the deal on the Carvins. There built in amps and NEO drivers are better. Also the ability to EQ and the flexible connections won me over on them.

I got two plus the cables and heavy stands for under $900 which is a pretty good bargin even being factory direct.

Prolly you did good. I heard many sound engineers saying that JBL does pretty good speakers, but only in their high price range. They said there is only one good thing about cheap JBL's - they're built like a tank. But soundwise you get much better things from some other companies... We have SRX 712's I think they are about 1,3kW each... We use four for our open air gigs and we really can't turn them very high... And they ARE built like tanks and have really great sound. Doesn't hurt my VM's vintage tone :)
