[QUOTE="Marlow Wilson, post: 26457, member: 47"] Re: Desparity in specification: PRX618S-XLF vs VRX918SP If you owned 4 or 6 of the VRX, you [I]could[/I] add a few more and happily fill riders in small regional market and have an enclosure that can fully scale down to small gigs. If it's purely SOS, I agree the added cost of the VRX wouldn't really make sense. The VRX subs can facilitate all sorts of professional deployments that simply aren't feasible with the PRX option though, which could be a boon in a market that is otherwise hard to differentiate yourself in. Whether or not those features are necessary or to be used would likely be my first decision. If it's not really necessary, ask yourself if the additional cost of the VRX is worth the performance improvement. To answer that question, you'd really need to do a side by side, keeping in mind the needs of your client rather than your personal preference for the best possible sound at any cost. My experience with SOS clients is much like Tom's; they couldn't care less unless it's completely insufficient, hideously ugly, or smells like last nights beer-olympics turned cheap-cigar infused foam party (though they sometimes ask 'how many watts is that?'). Oh yeah... they're really cheap sometimes too! [/QUOTE]
