[QUOTE="Jesse Davila, post: 10271, member: 1804"] Hi. I am looking for some upgrade advice please. I currently own 2 – Mackie HD1221 mains, 2 – Mackie HD1801 subs and 4 – Mackie SRM350v2 for monitors. We are a Southern Gospel group from Ohio and our dates have been growing as well as our audiences (we are doing more outdoor dates, maybe several hundred people at the most). I would like to upgrade my mains to a 3-way model (I should have plenty of sub right?). They would be more powerful (meaning get louder and throw farther) plus they should sound better with the extra mid driver. The obvious choice would be Mackie’s HD1531, but then JBL, QSC and EV have options as well. I’m at a loss on what to choose and why or why not to choose one over another. Also, all these models have been around for a while so I’m not sure if there are any new contenders on the block now that should be considered (Yamaha, Yorkville?). I’m always looking to learn more about live sound so I am “all ears” on any advice you can give. Thank you for your time and input. [/QUOTE]
