[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 57010, member: 46"] Re: Shootout: KF650e vs DX1565 Hey Silas, Yep, as a former 650 owner, the difference between them before and after the Gunness Focusing is very substantial. When I added the 8800 to my rig it took them from good to great. I can remember back as a kid when I was just getting started in learning about live sound, I thought that you could just match EQ and boxes would sound roughly the same. I quickly learned otherwise (but I wish that were true, it would make things a lot easier and cheaper!...... :) For strong output and sound quality, I'm not sure that there is a better bang for the buck than a used KF650 rig with the 8800 processor. The Fulcrum stuff is outstanding pro gear (I may be mixing a show on some DX's soon!) but as you mention, around 5K per box once you consider processing. I miss the 650 rig, but don't miss lugging those boxes by myself on 1 man shows, I can do without a hernia. Nice review. The Fulcrum stuff is serious kit. [/QUOTE]
