I echo what Donny says. I bought mine a couple of weeks ago,primarily because I had just landed a gig that involved stairs. I had been using Elite 160s and bass bins [wonderful pa speakers],and a 600 watt power amp. The Barbettas more than compensate for them.If I ever need a bigger sound because they won,t cut it,then I,ll be playing a gig big enough to warrant renting a Larger pa.SO Good luck,and enjoy.
