[QUOTE="Roy Andrews, post: 216063, member: 15263"] Kind of an apples vs oranges comparison, don't you think? The JBLs are THREE way passive, you pick the power amps you want to run, meanwhile the RCFs are TWO way fully powered & DSP optimized. My opinion, which will probably be unpopular, but having lived through the era of passive cabinets, and the modern era of powered DSP optimized cabinets, well, I'll take the self powered, DSP optimized cabinets for smaller gigs, EVERY SINGLE TIME. (My opinion changes when you get to gigs big enough to use flying line array cabinets with a proper pre show computer optimization of the full system). Regarding 3 way vs 2 way, you didn't mention what you are using the system for. I'd go 3 way for live bands, especially those with competent vocalists who will benefit from that extra mid range coverage provided by 3 way. If it's just pre-recorded pop, EDM, rap, disco, whatever, then 2 way will be just fine. How much attention are people really paying anyway, it's a party, right? [/QUOTE]
