[QUOTE="Ryan Lantzy, post: 32794, member: 7"] Re: QSC K12 and KSub I own 2 HPR122i, an HPR181, and I'm pretty familiar with the K10s as a friend owns a pair for a Jazz trio (piano, acoustic guitar, female vocalist). I don't know anything about the KSub. So I have no direct experience with the boxes in question. I've mixed on SRM450s on several occasions. That said... I've found the K10s to be much more than acceptable at their price point. I mix the female vocalist from the jazz trio on several different systems (Nexo PS10s and KF650zs) in another band. She uses the K10s when she's playing out with the trio and her voice sounds very natural on the K10s, maybe slightly midsy. I would choose this box over an SRM450 for light Jazz. I don't know about the K12. I would imagine the crossover between the high/low would be lower on the K12, and one would think that may help with the "midsy" problem. It sounds like from Phil's experience it didn't or it's worse in some other way. I think HPR122is sound harsh at low volumes. For rock program, they work well. That's the only thing I'd use them for personally. For anything with a heavily compressed program or when you just want it plain loud, the HPR122i wins over the SRM450 as well, IMO. I also own some Yorkville NX55ps. These sound better than all of the aforementioned speakers at low and reasonable playing volume, but I've had trouble with the durability of the knobs on the back. If you are doing something heavier you push them into solid limit, they are still 6 dB shy of the HPR122is and sound horrible doing it. Yet, they use the almost the same components! [/QUOTE]
