I've played two gigs with my new EV SxA100 speakers. Once using me X1 and the last using my 9000 Pro. The first time, I ran stereo right out of the X1. Last night I ran mono out of the 9K Pro and daisy chained the EVs. I can't seem to get much volume (loudness) out of the EVs either way (gain is turned up to max on the back of the speakers). My old Peavey 300 watt pa head into two Cerwin Vega 15" two way cabinets blows the EVs away. Also when I run the same program material through a 60 watt Roland Cube keyboard amp it sounds twice as loud as the same sound source does through one EV. Am I doing something wrong? Is there packing material in the EVs that needs to be removed (they both have a "stuffy" sound i.e. snare drums sound like hitting on cardboard boxes)?
Thanks,
