The QSC K.2 will be the replacement of the now called Legacy K Series. They only dropped by $100 now. And I can see that number dropping more in the future to compete with other speaker lines. Still a great speaker!

This means that the KW models will have an upgrade soon... I predict.

The K8.2 will shine as a compact monitor speaker! Or as a 105° coverage pattern top speaker with a sub to fill out the 100 hz and below for bass and kick. A great system as a 2.1 configuration. For around $2600, this would be a more sold system than the Bose L2. Weight would be an issue at 90 lbs on the sub and 27 lbs each on the K8.2... but it would sound bigger than it would look.
