Here's another one of those "how long is a piece of string" questions. I have a nice little QSC HPR system 153/118 for smallish gigs, and I sold off my Unity rig 2 U15/2 UCS (per side) to fund a nice deal on a Versarray system. I know they get mixed reviews here but it a system that filled a niche in our little shop.
So I have a bunch of the VR218 subs which are quite nice, and a couple racks of QSC PL3xx. It would be nice to have a couple of high SPL trap boxes for "ground stack" gigs. Quick in/out like battle of the bands, beer tent type gigs. My racks are configed for biamp tops. New or used is an option. We are dealers for QSC, Yorkville, Yamaha, but would consider others if it made sense. I'm almost considering a couple of U215 since I liked the sound of the U15 I owned.
Just looking for a few opinions right now.
Thanks,
BJ

How about a pair of Yorkville E152B's or TX4's??
Both cabs' horns will rip your face off if you let them...
You're a Yorkie dealer...right.
I use both (have four of each) bi-amped along with two subs for Classic Rock, Battle of the Band events, etc.
My rig works really well for indoor and holds it's own on outdoor gigs.

Kind of a totally off the wall idea but I've been using a lot of Community iBox speakers in my installs lately as their sound quality really blows me away. And for your case, they offer portable models with handles and feet and all that.

Check out the 3564's for two a side or the 3594's if you only want a one a side system.

Nice boxes, I used to run 1294s. They come in a ton of horn patterns and the horn can be rotated, adding to the flexibility. One huge issue: no pole mounts, not even on the portable ones. And at least on the 1294, the woofer magnet is too close to the bottom of the box to add one.
