For god's sake will you two give it a rest.

One of you likes them he other doesn't.

We get the picture.

So going back to the OP and veering back OT, lets say I got a pair of RCF 310A's/410A's as these fit within the non Nexo budget Would these be suitable for smaller functions. I get things like 60th, 70th, 80th birthdays sometimes where the music selection is mostly non chart.

Would they give a balanced and acceptable sound to Dancing Queen and the Beatles at moderate volumes ?

I have worked with RCFs a couple of times and yes nice quality but they were 15 inch.

Im not sure you would get the preferred bass range though from 10 inches even in a small hall--Im not talking beer glass moving bass--just a nice rounded sound.

I always think the much maligned Peaveys offer a reasonable sound for your bucks---

No you wont although they are very impressive. i ran mine without bins the other night as there is a noise limiter in a marquee. I took out allot of the mid and they were very good!

Why would you take out a lot of the mid on a mid/high speaker?

I'm just reading my old thread here and wondering whether anything has changed in the 6 months since ....

I'm still using the same speakers and have the following in my kit bag

- Warrior PSR15A - Heavy and sound a big ragged I think when pushed
- Mackie SRM450 V1 - Good, sound, can get hot when pushed
- RCF ART705A Sub - Belting sub but heavy at 37kg.

I really really want to consolidate and essentially I keep one set of actives as a backup to the other, although i don't why really as I don't have room to take both sets to a gig as my DJing car is a Toyota RAV4 5 Door which i got before I started DJing again.

So I can sell any or all of the above to buy one set of speakers that will do all types of gigs easily ... recommendations please ... this is the preferred option. .... or I could sell some of the tops and keep the sub and I think I would prefer 10s if i do this, as space is limited. What I really want is the best overall sound. My gigs tend to by mixed parties from 50 - 125 people and I play the full range of music including commercial dance, rnb and dubstep, so a reasonable amount of bass is needed.

I'm not especially bothered about having a backup set any more as I never have room to take them so what the point when I could just source from a local DJ shop a PA if really really needed?

So what do you think I should do ?... I can probably afford to put £500 in addition to whatever the above would sell for.

I do about 20 gigs a year so I am part time but I do like to take pride in my show and give my customers the best I can give within limits.
