Re: The top tenHi Silas:Nothing you don't know here, but the VT4888 is really a medium/large output box and the KF730 is more a small/medium box. The cost of the JBL box will be a bit more, but the amplification of the JBL boxes will be quite a bit more. They are also a bit heavier, but very reasonably so. The 90˚ JBL pattern vs. 110˚ spec (100˚ actual IMO) EAW pattern is a cost consideration as well - you'll need front fills for most 90˚ hangs and rarely with the EAW's IMO. I don't know what the JBL's are capable of sonically, but the EAW's can be stunning if massaged a bit.It really depends on what size shows you do on average. In my case, the 77 lb KF730 is the bar gig to 10,000 seat wonder of the world. Amazing design. Horizontal coverage consistency (along with the KF740) is unmatched as far as I know (for a line array), which is very nice:[ATTACH]150445[/ATTACH]You're invited to come down for a day or two if you'd like to put some time in with my KF730's.
