I've been using the 450's for the last 10 gigs in different variations.......it took a while to get the T2 sound I wanted by making some personal EQ & internal adjustments which are critical to make the T2 sound the way I want on stage.....Yes they are super powerful speakers, with a great Searing sounds all across the dance floor thru 200 people, I can see a clear difference from my old SRM 350's of which I needed a Powered Sub to get some more bottom end on big jobs but not with these baby's & now Im very happy with the sound after last nights peformance which really proved what the Mackie SRM450's are all about & capable of sounding like in STEREO with a T2!!!
I'm in the process of trying out some small systems for my little jobs also.....right now Im just using my Yamaha MS50's w/Sub which all fits nice into a small Protege` traveler luggage tote suitcase w/ handle I got at Walmart for $24.99
For now its ok, but I'll always be looking for the perfect solution for MY needs!
