[QUOTE="Marlow Wilson, post: 26129, member: 47"] Re: Desparity in specification: PRX618S-XLF vs VRX918SP Don't despair, the disparity can be explained... The VRX is flyable, so must be rated/measured differently (or have the measurements applied differently). With respect to comparing two boxes with similar drivers but different enclosure volumes, I defer to Bennett's tale of two enclosures: [URL]http://www.soundforums.net/blog/entries/14-A-Tale-of-Two-Enclosures[/URL] The devil is in the details! I'm not qualified to assess the design differences, but it might be worth doing a meaningful side-by-side comparison if you are buying a bunch of them. If you are only getting a pair, I suspect either will do fine. I had considered both those enclosures as ideal for SOS rental but also capable of kicking ass when used in large groups. 8 or 12 would be pretty scalable for a small provider. For now I continue to use separate active speakers for SOS and older horn loaded stuff for large productions. [/QUOTE]
