JBL Professional 15" 2-Way Self-Powered Speaker

I bought these speakers from PSSL after a thorough review of their specs, features and fit with my mission. My goal was to find a DJ speaker that was under 40 pounds, under $500 and 1000 watts or better. It also had to be a good reputation, and more upper crust in sound quality. I preferred a 15 inch woofer if there was a choice. At this price point, I can buy 4 of these speakers, and that is a real advantage. I have seen some other reviews here comparing the Eon 615 to speakers costing 1/2 again more, or suggesting that the loudest might be "best." Remember, every time you double the speaker total, you add 3 DB, so two 127 DB speakers measure out at 130 DB. Lets consider the mission fit first so you can decide if this is for you. If you are a DJ, and seek to have a speaker that can stand alone, or work with a sub, this is perfect fit. None of the under 50 pound contenders for less than $2000 a piece had enough bass to make me say I didn't need a sub woofer at a big dance. With that said, the huge SPL's reviewers here seek, are going to come from that 18 inch sub woofer sitting under my Eons. Comparing the Eon 615 to my JBL MR925 and Eliminator subs is interesting, because they do a close fit at a quarter of the weight when you count the amp (unequalized). The 4 handles and wave guide work as expected. This speaker can be picked up from any angle, or heard from any angle of attack. We listened for the projection at every angle just to test it. At this price I can gang up 4 of them if needed and trump ANY pair of $2000 RFC's by just spreading them out. Additionally, splitting the amp heat load over 4 boxes is FAR better than pushing just 2 ultra-expensive speakers to the point of melt down. Wouldn't it be cool to go to a DJ'ed event where you could hear the music everywhere and still not have to scream across the table to be heard. Remember that wedding when you were up front by the DJ's only two 134 DB speakers? Ears still ringing? If you want better, spend a lot more - or better yet, buy 4 Eon 615's and no one with a vastly more expensive pair of "supposedly better" speakers will trump your show. My next buy will be a pair of PRX718XLF subs to sit under these Eon's. I suspect that paired up (Eons and Subs), they'll be loud and bassy enough for any client...anywhere.
