Has anybody tried these?

The four reviews are all very positive.
Of course deep bass is not their strength, but for medium gigs they might be great, as they only weigh 10 pounds per speaker, with very efficient class d amplifier (120 Watts RMS per speaker).

What is your budget?
For a little bit more you could get ev zlx12p which are at least10 x better.

I'm not interested in 30 pounds speakers, the Db K300 were just interesting because of their weight of 10 pounds. They are often presented as the best speakers of their class regarding compact size and weight. This is why I asked for concrete experiences with them.

I just ordered a pair of them: today there was a sudden incredible price hike of 85€ per speaker / 170€ per pair! Just one store still had them for the former price, maybe just for this evening, so I had a hard time chewing over the purchase decision. Looking forward to them...

I am digging out this old thread to praise the db K300 speakers again. Tomorrow I'm playing on a wedding ceremony in a chapel, in which there is no pipe organ. I'm going to use the pair of db K300 to amplify a great Hauptwerk full pipe organ sample (which came with my Motif Garritan GPO flash library).
Just made a sound check upstairs turning the house and stairway into a cathedral... Just 11 pounds per speaker.

I took a video of my wedding gig playing the pipe organ sample with the db K300 today (recorded with my new Sony HDR-MV1). I'm going to upload it shortly.

This is yesterday's live recording of the wedding with db K300: One of the speakers is visible being placed on a chair behind me.

The original note mentioned 4 review - were these review in avarious places, or all at one link? I have done some searching, but it would be good to know the location of those 4 particular reviews (links). These look like interesting speakers, esp. so light weight!

Thanks,
Jim
