Fair point bud, but if you get a dodgy new unit there will be no arguing with Thomann, some others are not so good at accepting responsibility.

Well, I cheaped out and went for a pair of "B grade" (returned ?) The Box DSP 18's for €656. About the best I can afford for a regular wedding DJ going out at between £200 to £400 a gig!
They have a 30 day return policy, which I get the pleasure of returning (and paying postage) if they turn out to be crap. I was comparing the spec's to the Wharfedale LX-18B's I used to have. Those Wharfedale LX-18B where great speakers IMO. Shame I sold them all off a few years ago and went active. Would be tempted at the Wharfedale Delta 18BA if budget allowed http://www.wharfedalepro.com/product-detail.php?pid=75 In fact the Wharfedales look good value at £639, but then again 'the box' came in at half that. I guess you get you get what you pay for. However saying that the 'the box' PA502A's at £250 are far better than the Alto 215's

the box pro DSP 18 Sub arrived today. I'm really impressed with them, much better than other speakers I have had in this price bracket. Can really handle some power - yet to gig them. |

If your vaccinations were mandatory and nobody in your class had measles,
then you know that you're not a Millenial kid.</f |

I uploaded them to my 'blog' in the end :-)
- https://keithhards.co.uk/the-box-pro-dsp-18-sub/">https://keithhards.co.uk/the-box-pro-dsp-18-sub/ I gigged them for the first time last night. Really happy with them! It was a fairly small function room, but the subs sounded great. For the weight of 35kg net I recokn they have to be the best value vs weight vs power speaker out there at the moment. Nice to see a ply cabinet to keep the weight down. |

JBL Mpro MP418S are nice. Duraresin finish, ply cabs, look good and stay looking good (if they get scuffed just blow some satin black paint over them). JBL 2241G driver- same high end sub driver as used in the SRX range but 4r so will make plenty of noise even off something small and cheap like a behringer EP2500. 29kg weight so alright as a one man lift. not easy to find though.
