Hi:
As owner of 3 PA systems, I have powered system with pasive mixer that gives you nice quality, but for a 4-10 gigs per week, is more cables to set up and undo....so, that is why I own also the Yamaha EMX 312s with 2 pasive light weight EV ZX1s plus my active subwoofer KCW1 a Hybrid combination, but it works great!!, very vesatil set up and light wight, I also like the Barbbetas..
