Most of the time I'm providing sound for bar bands in 200ish occupancy bars. I currently have 3 systems of dissimilar tops & subs, so i'm looking to find a cohesive solution (i.e. 6 identical tops & 6 subs).
My goals are to have a one sub & top per side stack that can cover a loud rock band in a medium sized bar. Then have those same cabinets array nicely in a 3 top/ 3 sub per side config. For the occasional larger outdoor event, that are coming up a little more often these days.
My current mains are 4 Radian RPX215 & 2 JBL MRX525 (loaded w/ all B&C drivers). I'm happy with the sound quality and output of the Radians, but their 90* dispersion makes them a less than excellent choice for 3 per side operation. My subs are 2 Radian RPS218, 2 Yorkville LS1208b, 2 JBL SRX728. All great subs, but I like favor the LS1208b's for the sens.
One option I considered is EV X-Array Xf & Xb. I see them fairly well priced, and the 60x40 dispersion is appealing. So is the obscenely high sensitivity. I'm concerned the subs might not keep up in a 1 for 1 ratio, and they look a little small.
What do you have for me?
Please forgive the cross post from the other forum.
