    Default And my choice is.....RCF !

    Further to my thread on RCF's I went down to HTF today and Adam kindly demo'd various speakers.

    The ones demo'd were:

    Rcf 312a (350w)

    Mackie SRM450's V2 (450w)

    QSC HPR 1221 (500w)

    JBL Eon 515

    I know this will open (probably) another can of worms but I went with th RCF's just ahead of the QSC's.

    Soundwise it was great to get a side by side comparison. To listen to the Mckie and RCF next to each other there was no competition. For me the Mackie was too "harsh" with the top end . The RCF was my prefered sound.

    I was nearly swayed by the QSC but unfortunately it was nearly as heavy if not slightly more than my current PSR15a's I liked the sound from it alot, but wasn't prepared to keep doing my back in.

    The JBL's were over budget although a didn't find it a "warm" sound so wouldn't have got them anyway.

    So there you go.

    I went for the RCF's and look forward to using them for the next couple of years at least.

    Was that with a flat EQ, out of interest? Low Cut or Contour buttons in at all...? (I my Mackies)

    You didnt go for the 15inch speaker Paul?

    Any reason--apart from cost?

    Either way, side by side, there's a huge difference, with the RCF outperforming in clarity, tightness and bass.

    Had i known you were on commision Adam, i would have asked for you when i got mine

    The RCF really are the dogs dangaly bits. I was a bit aprihensive at first because i'd only ever used old RCF stuff that was a tad rubbish. But these are quality. I nuse the 312s on their own a fair bit paul and they are sweet...even better with a bass bin in the set-up. Future purchase maybe?

    I wish I did mate, it was just a tongue in cheek comment.

    Whether I sell an RCA to RCA cable or 20 RCF cabs, I get all

    Another happy RCF user then. They will serve you well. Ive had mine now about a year. I upgraded from the SRM450s as many know.

    Im glad i did

    The ART 705 bin for that extra bottom end is a must when funds allow. It is one of the best active subs out there and will sound lovely with the 312A's
