[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 90790, member: 277"] Re: "Best" wedge(monitor) Depending on the size of the show, monitors are less of a rider issue than everything else. What I usually see on national riders is "bi-amped" and occasionally 15". I have been out with some really loud national bands and never had a complaint with anything I have used. Nobody has turned down a microwedge even on the riders asking for a 15" driver. For that matter nobody has ever turned down any of the big homebuilt boxes. All of the larger boxes I have used in the last 15 years are homebuilt although some of the actual cabinet work was done by QMS on one set of 8 and then loaded and processed by my friend who had them built. The real bottom line is that they have to be loud, clear, and able to cover their zone properly. I like the horn on top designs for the mirrored pair and I don't mind the taller form factor. If you are really trying to stay lower to the ground you cannot beat the Microwedges. It does take a little getting used with placement to because they throw a more upright pattern than a conventional wedge but they will absolutely rip your head off for such a small box as far as volume is concearned.
