Re: Lookin for a new setup.. thoughts on EV tour X?
Admittedly, no. I haven't listened to them both. But I have taken a listen to the PRX700s, which I thought were pretty solid. All I have on the PreSonus side are the Eris studio monitors that I got to play with a while back. They were a good product, and sounded good, but they weren't amazing. That's not why I'm leaning towards the JBL more, though. The JBL speakers are lighter, have a studier build quality, and are cheaper. Granted, the PreSonus might have some interesting new features and a different design like their remote DSP app and the CoActual system, but for his application, he's going to prefer the JBL speakers. It'll be easier for him to put them up on the poles over the subs, and move around in general. He'll likely be able to resell them easier as well.
I'm not suggesting the PRX over the AI because of sound quality. I'm suggesting it because, from what I can tell, it's a better business decision for him. His back will last longer, he'll have faster set up times, he'll make more money back and they'll do the job to the standards of quality he needs at the loudness he needs.
