Mine are the EAW JFLs. Other systems with similar capability are JBL VRX, JBL Vertec 4886, RCF NX-L23A, and a few others. The highest SPL/weight ratio I can find are the JBL Vertec 4886 boxes - 136dB and 34lbs with a -3dB point at 75 Hz - easily low enough with subs.

iwo jima method works fine usually. you can even get over the sliding thing with a couple of rubber door stops against the feet on the way up. just make sure the pole cups are metal or they'll get broken and then you've got no way to get your speakers up for the gig. plus it sucks.. not that it's ever happened to me...

did you know the first generation of the EAW KF300 had plastic pole cups? well, they did...

Cast aluminum pole cups can crack too, when you put an angled pressure on them. I've seen that happen.
