[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 138604, member: 162"] Re: Favorite mid-range powered speaker I just got back from a listening session where we compared a QSC KW122, QSC K12, and a SRX815P. Some thoughts - They sound significantly different than each other. The KW122 sounded more "scooped", the SRX815P sounded a little more upper mid-rangey. I was wishing for a little bit more sparkle from the SRX815P than what was in the standard "Mains" preset. We put the KW122 and 815P on the floor in monitor mode. Gain before feedback was very similar, and with an SM58 rang first somewhere around 400-500Hz on both boxes. The SRX815 sounded a fair bit better overall than the KW and K series. The box is very nicely made. The handles are rubberized, the pole socket has two positions, 0° and -7.5° (I think - there isn't actually a spec for this, but I think that's pretty standard.) It feels like an SRX or Vertec box as to how its made. I have a couple things I would like to see changed: - It's a fairly big box, about an inch larger in all three dimensions compared to the EV ETX (comparing spec sheets - I haven't been able to hear or see the ETX yet). Also, the on-panel DSP controls don't allow any EQ or delay settings like the ETX series do - you have to use the software control for everything but level control and preset selection. Those aren't huge issues though, and it isn't a difficult choice between the three boxes we had to test - the SRX815 is a much more modern sounding box. I'm hoping to be able to repeat some of Dan's listening comparison between an ETX and SRX if I can get both boxes together at the same time. [/QUOTE]
