Hi!! I would like to have some rewiews/impressions about the EM serie. Is there anyone that have ever listened to it? I'm particularry interested on rewiews about the EM56 and the EM26 to go on top of my MTH-30. Thanks, Giacomo.  ------------- https://soundcloud.com/dj-uber |

The only EM cabs I had my hands on were for an install, they were all RCF loaded and the cabs were built from MDF sounded ok though. ------------- Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.

Just out of interest why don't you just build your own cabs? Have a look at the FR101 nice little box and quite capable. http://x-maxlautsprechertechnik.de/FR101MKL.htm" rel="nofollow - http://x-maxlautsprechertechnik.de/FR101MKL.htm
Edit for some reason I quoted myself how very odd

Some of the EM series are install versions of other parts of their range, particularly the Wavefront series. Eg EM186 Is effectively a Wavefront 3 but made from MDF etc... They all sound fairly reasonable. I'd go with the larger EM56 personally. EM26 is more of a background music box. |

Thanks!! So do you think 2xEM56 + 1xMTH-30 would be good?? ------------- https://soundcloud.com/dj-uber |

Got a pair of EM76 and keep up nicely with my 4x15" reflex. RCF 12's and B&C DE25 loaded on mine not sure on the EM56 though. pair of EM56 on 1 MTH30 will be plenty loud enough for average size room I would say You might consider building another MTH30 to keep up. .like the sound from it hence I consider getting another pair but they only comes once in every blue moon  . |

That is correct, now replaced by the AQ series I believe:- You will usually find more flying points, speaker bracket mounts on back and usually only a single NL4 & they are indeed made of MDF not ply. These are designed as install only speakers really. I personally would not choose them for a portable rig as that is not what they were designed for. ------------- Con te partirò |

I've got a pair of em56's all working, great little boxes. Used them over 15 reflex bass cabs, sound very punchy and you'll be surprise what they can keep up with. Still if interested, everything is for sale at the right price... |

Thank you!!! but i already finded where to buy a couple next to me in italy so next question is... What amp?? My budget is pretty poor... I'm thinking to buy a t.amp TA600 from thomann. I already have one and does a great job (in bridge mode) with my mth. Sooo, what do you think??------------- https://soundcloud.com/dj-uber |

| Sounds like a plan mate, not sure what that amp is like on bridge mode so can't help. I can imagine it with be ok though.I've been toying with the idea of getting a 4 channel amp, like a t.amp TSA 4-700, and running some 12" bandpass subs under my EM 56's... nice compact system + rack with just active crossover, avc and amp. Used only for small parties and could always double up on cabs in the future... only an idea at the moment. |
