Glenn,
Uncle Dave and I swapped speakers for a few weeks, then switched back.
EVsxa100...
Pros.. Great sound, crisp highs and clear overall sound for small to medium venues,
nice weight, ability to lay sideways with [optional legs]for monitoring also.
Cons...lacks that deep bass response due to the 12" woofer versus the Barbetta Sona32c 15", I was yearning for more on Big venues with the EV's doing 250-450 people,Difficult to transport & stack due to the odd shape, Covers are hard to put on quickly also,
Lack of mixer features, inputs, outputs,
3 band EQ, you have to carry a mixer due to lack of inputs, unlike the Barbettas which give you so many hookup options which is very convienient on small gigs using one amp..
