I hate to go round and around with this again but when I was shopping I went to the locak GC and the manager of the PA dept. was setting up and L! system. I asked him the feedback he's gotten on them. He said he wished they were never in the store.
Way overpriced for what they are. ANd alone never ehough without the additional bass modules. He did demo and suggest the new EV line to me but I didn't see a significant improvement over the 515's

Do the math.

2 JBL515XT's = $700 2 Compacts = $2000
45 day return policy 30 day return policy
650 watts 40, 60, 120 ????
15" LF speaker 8" LF speaker

And I don't care what kind of electronic magic is presented LF physics is about moving air. If you do any kind of upbeat dance music you need bottom. And for the money I spent I may buy a set of 510s for my rehearsal room and still come out ahead.

But you do need to auditon things for yourself. Buy and send back if necissary.

OK thats my story and I'm sticking to it.
