[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 82939, member: 3950"] Re: QSC HPR122i vs KW122 First, I think the HPR122i is only slightly different in its "good behavior" when going into limiting .... but the others are correct, it does sound better when you get there than the KW122 and especially the K12 (which I think starts getting a little "ice pick in the ear" sounding quite a bit before limiting). The KW122 is a very good sounding speaker all the way around.... but what it would come down to for me is the difference in weight. The HPR122i is a 60 lb speaker ..... that is just a bit much for my back when putting it up on poles over subs. The KW122 is quite a bit lighter at only 49 lbs. I did a pretty good test drive of nearly all the speakers in this price range and ended up with the Yamaha DSR112's. To my ear, the KW122 was equal to the DSR112, but at the time I would have had to spend $1100.00 each for the KW's while I got a killer deal of $740.00 ea for the DSR112's. If you can find a GC with both, you should go give them a listen yourself. Good luck with your decision. [/QUOTE]
