I've sold allot of the italian made stuff, the FBT and RCF, they are great.

The key is the musicality of the more premier stuff. Yes you can buy a powered speaker from another company for under $300 that has great looking specs, 400 watts, 40 - 20k response,.

But if you look into it, it's 400 watts max, 100 nominal, the response is +/- 10db which is horrible.

Especially when you push the volume that where the cheaper stuff falls apart, you get mechanical compression from the cheaper drivers, tolerances that change because of the cheaper components.

In the end it's all about the sound and relaibility.

If your spending the money that's the way to go. but you will always get what you pay for.' if it seems too good to be true then it usually is
