[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 90596, member: 1285"] Re: Budget stage monitors Once you start creeping upwards, dB Technologies Arena 12 and RCF Art 312 springs to mind, the RCF sound very good for a plastic cabinet and the dB is probably better than all of the others mentioned here allthough not by much. For vocal monitors, I would go for HK Premium Pro 10x or dB Arena 10 in the price range already covered, but they are of course less versatile with their smaller woofers. My impression from the little I have heard them, is that compared to the smoothness of the EV ELX 112 horn, the HKs and RCF are a bit more in-your-face while the dBs are somewhere in between, but with a very solid sound throughout. It's hard to beat the EV though, they sound a lot better on vocals than the JRX (or indeed the srm450 which I think is awful on vocals ;)~;-)~:wink: ), but they are not any louder at all, despite what claims EV makes. My gripe with EV in general is that they seem to blow up easily. Still, if I could swap my JRXs for EVs, I'd do it without the slightest hesitation. [/QUOTE]
