[QUOTE="Chris Paras, post: 11118, member: 8091"] I'm new to thissite and forum. My background is in analog engineering, and for the past 10years in IT and classroom technologies or in the old days affectingly calledAV! By night & weekends, I’m a want-to-be drummer, sometime Mobile DJ,sometimes sound & lighting guy when a friend’s need a hand! For personalreasons I got out of the DJ sound & Lighting bus approx. 5 years ago andnow things have changed and I’m thinking of starting business back up! I am lookingfor some not so typical really great sounding speakers for small band and DJgigs primarily on the general business, wedding & event circuit! Or like Iused to tell people, we do weddings, baptizers, and pagan rituals! Anyway, I ampretty familiar with all the typical “Guitar Center” PA speaker market, I.e.JBL, EV, QSC, etc.. I have beendoing my research and came across the somewhat new (1 yr old?) Presonus AI lineof PA speakers. The issue is besides the little info available including David Gunnesstalking a little about his designand some really stupid video from a marketer at Presonus that posted aYouTube demoing the speakers to an almost empty room! I have not been able tofind any real working people, (musicians, DJ’s, sound guys etc…) that are usingthe Presonus or at least have done a real A/B comparison against some maybe competitorslike the new EV, ETX series? I even called my favorite toy shops in NYC, B&H, Sam Ash & new GuitarCenter at Time Sq. who said “come on down and we can demo EV vs. Presonus foryou! Got down there and no one even knew that Presonus manufactured speakers until Ishowed them that they were all selling the AI series on their websites! I didcontact Presouns and they put me in touch with their local dist. ch in New England who werewilling to demo for me but they couldn’t do A/B comparisons, against JBL’s,QSC, EV etc..? I am a fan ofGunness and FulcrumAcoustic and almost tempted to do this totally blind with the gut feeling theyare going to be more then I ever expected!
