[QUOTE="Brian Murphy, post: 8083, member: 1805"] OK without going into a long dialog I have an older pair of EV cab's with replacement speakers that I'm using as mains that I'd like to replace. Right now my system is all passive. I have a TRx18 Carvin Sub which suits my needs for size and weight and some low end when I need it. I need to get a DSP for the Sub and monitors anyway so I'm not sure if I should stay passive or go active on the mains. For active spks I'm leaning towards the RCF ART310MKIII that can be had for $419 delivered and they are fairly small and light. Unless I'm missing the obvious I don't see much in the passive field that can match or better the performance of the ART310 at the same price point. For the passive mains I'm running a Nuke NU3000 which I could keep as a spare because how much would I get for an amp that costs around $300 new. Some seem to like the ZLX-12's but run with the NU3000 and DSP how would they stack up against the ART310's?? Input and other suggestions welcome. I'm not looking to compare $800 cab's with the 310's. [/QUOTE]
