Martin Audio EM series

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.

Thanks guys!! but, i think 1xMTH (127db cont) will keep up with 2xEM56 (117db cont). What do you think?

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.
