[QUOTE="Peter Morris, post: 44006, member: 652"] Re: Peavey Versarray? [FONT=arial][COLOR=#000000]Hi Eric Just a suggestion – In its day the Versarray was good box especially for the price, but have a look at some of the new stuff that’s available first. The bar has jumped up quite a bit in the last few years. You may find you need far less boxes to achieve the same SPL and the net cost isn’t that bad.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]The Versarray is only rated 129dB peak for the lows, & 124 dB peak for the highs (version 2 may make about 4 db more for the HF but it’s not clear from the website) - that’s not much in 2012!
