One to rule them all

Soepavlamos 26.07.2022

I wish I bought this earlier. This is really the best investment I did in playing for +25j. No more dragging around a +30kg VOX amp on stage. Since I play full digital (Helix) this is the best solution for me. It replaces my personal monitor and my amp in one go. It has more than enough power to deliver what I need.
It has nice presets to be used as a monitor or a standalone, if you combine 2 of them on a stand, and you add a sub, you can easily play a party up to 500people.
It comes with a nice padded bag which makes it easy and safe to transport.

good for value and compact

Gouter 02.10.2020

i was torn between this one and yamaha dxr8 and what can i say i choose this because it's cheaper more compact and lighter the sound is also amazing but if weight is not your concern and you look for something much louder then choose yamaha dxr8.

Wow

Amazing sounding speakers. First use outdoor 2000 people, Very loud and precise. I intended to use these as monitors when the K 8.2s are back in stock but they are sounding so good on vocals and guitar through a Flow 8 mixer that i may re-think mu solo rig.

The best, yes, but Overrated

SunnyDev 15.03.2025

I bought these based on reviews and recommendations.
I learned sound is in the ear of the beholder.
No doubt they are great speakers for their size. And the power is deafening... really.

But for me I needed something which sound great at low volumes too, and these did not deliver in this area.

No bass control being the biggest issue.
At low volume I want to turn up the bass, even with a separate mixer I could not do this sufficiently for my need.

Shame overall as they are well built, great warranty and look the part.
Just need bluetooth and tone control.
