So I love my JBL EON Ones but like most musicians I'm always looking ahead. Any suggestions on what you guys are using and what might replace them eventually. The newer JBL model has a battery which I will never use so why pay for it. Others have digital screens which I don't want to mess with trying to adjust aon a job. I like the Yamaha StagePas 1K but 50 lbs ? BTW beside solo Arranger playing and singing I have a trio with sax and guitar which adds two more mics. We do lots of dance music so I need some good bass.

Thanks for the info. Harbinger is a brand I wouldn't trust. QSC is really expensive and I want to have two portable systems like I have now. One unit for solo work and two for my band, maybe stereo,
I hate to do it but may consider going back to boxes on a stick system. The Yamaha 600BT and a Behringer 12" sub. More pieces but portable and flexible for different situations.
Thanks for the input

I 2nd the Evolve 50. I had ONE and it was stellar. I like the Everse 8s and use for all my gigs (only to 100 people).

If I were still working, I would still be using my Bose L1 Compacts (2). The covered everything with incredible results. And, no one ever complained that the volume was too high, too low, and the audiences raved about how crisp, clean and clear the sound was at every venue. Yes, they are expensive, but well with the outlay, IMO. When I worked with a group, I just added a small, 8 channel mixer with effects to the setup - easily handled audiences to 500 ppl using the pair of compacts. Plus, never had a problem with feedback.

Good luck, Bill,

Gary cool

Hey Bill, are you still enjoying your 12" Behringer subs?
I'm considering getting something similar.

Do 't know why and I'm sorry I did but I sold it. They are great for their size and price. I have a big party coming up and a friend of mine has one I may borrow. I may buy another soon just to have it on hand.

Gary One of the units on my short list is the updated Bose Pro 8 replacement for the Compact. I've heard good things about them. My friend has a pair of the 16's and they sound like a small concert system

I used 10” EV’s on sands for a long time until I moved to Bose. One trip, better sound.

I have a job this May 26, One Bose, my IPad,
my Yamaha sx900 and stand. No money involed.

I turned 92 this September 11th, and I playing a job on the 26th of this month. It is what I feel and think that keeps me going.
