[QUOTE="Ian Coughlin, post: 32696, member: 19"] Re: QSC K12 and KSub Phil, In reference to the KW series +1 on the looks, quality, and support but I feel your making them out to sound far worse than then actually do. I will agree that the off axis isn't the greatest, and they might not sound as good as my SRX715's but they do sound pretty damn good non the less.
