Hi all-
   We are looking to revamp the small show side of our company with new speaker rigs. (Think tops on a stick, over subs. Good for a couple hundred people.) Right now we have 3 complete rigs (2x tops & 2x subs) that are each different brands/lines. We want to end up with the same 3 complete rig scenario, but have them be all the same brand/line in order to aid with scale-ability. Nothing we currently have is worth keeping....time to turn over the inventory.

Criteria to consider for the purchase:

   Powered cabinets preferred, but not a necessity.
   Array-ability....having the ability to just put a PAIR of tops together for a little more rig for the gig when needed.
   Flyable....for those corporate gigs. (Occasionally screwing in a eye bolt is fine...doesn't need to have a fly frame or anything.)
   Respected Brand.....EAW, JBL, EV, QSC, etc. (Not Pyle, Samson, Yorkville, Peavey, etc.)
   Appropriate R.O.I.....have to be under $1k per cabinet to make financial sense.

Any thoughts on what you've used or heard that might fit the bill? Just looking for some ideas and suggestions right now, so we can be sure to make an educated purchase when the time comes.

Thanks in advance!
