[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 105455, member: 3950"] Re: Quick and Dirty Bar Rig 2014 Edition That sounds like a great rig to me. The X32 Compact is a great mixer. As you say, the loss of the scribble strips going to the producer is a really big deal to many (including me). The ability to expand the system to 32 channels with a <1K stage box is a very nice feature as you point out. I haven't heard the Presonus speakers, but you are obviously sold on them so I am guessing they compete well with the QSC and JBL offerings in this class of 3 way speaker. I didn't mention the DSR112's, but this is what I use with my XLF's for mains (we use IEM's so no other monitors). For mains these things put out way more punch than any of the other speakers in their class IME. I didn't suggest them simply because matching tops to subs seems so clean. If you end up getting the rig you have listed, I would be VERY interested in hearing your appraisal of how the DSR112's sound as mains compared to your 328AI's. Bennett, I do have one note on your tops. Just be aware that the XLF's have a HPF output at 90Hz which can't be changed. I happen to like the relatively low cross-over since the DSR112's really handle the lower frequencies quite well (I also think that this frequency would work well with 15" tops for the same reason). I don't know how well those 8" drivers will do, but it is just something to be aware of on the XLF's since most subs have higher cross-overs in them than the XLF. As for the discussion between the LS801P and the XLF, there is no doubt that the LS801P has more output than the XLF (or any other powered speaker I have heard in this price class), but to my ear, the XLF is significantly more musical. Killer system Bennett! It should be light, great sounding, flexible, and easy to setup. [/QUOTE]
