No, in that style, I've only used the JBL Eons: both the 10" and the 15's. Nothing like the power of those QSC's.

I was thinking about some new home speakers, then I heard a pair of these! For way less money than a audiophile set of speakers you could have a set of speakers with 2000 watts that sound great and have the utility to have a killer front end or powered monitor.

The Q in QSC is Quilter who also makes interesting solid state guitar amps. I tried one for a set and it sounded warm, but I haven't had the opportunity to give one a good testing. The thought of a 9 pound 100 watt head is very attractive.

No affiliation.

I came across a pair of old Bose 501's in the mid seventies. Still use the things after all these years. Hard to get rid of something that still sounds great. Have an old Marantz amp driving them.
Maybe I should get out more often....

IMO you should stay home and listen to Asleep at the wheel. Or go riding.

I've got a 40 year old pair of Celestion UL8s run by a Luxman L30 from the same year in my shop. Been running everyday, all this time, and I bought them new. I had to clean the pots this year, and that's been it for repairs. This from a guy who bought his R100 thirty years ago...new, and I was out on it yesterday. I've been playing my Music Man amp for 35 years, It made me money yesterday. One solder joint re-soldered, that's all in all those years. Thousands of gigs on that amp. I've got a lot of good working old stuff that I bought new. That way, I know it was maintained properly, and I can keep them, and use them indefinitely. When you are buying quality, your best value is to buy new....IMO. Too bad name brands don't seem mean much anymore. I bought a Klim riding jacket the other day, it has lifetime warranty which is described as the life of the garment. I guess my lifetime doesn't count anymore.

1 jacket year is 20 human yeras.

Good to know!

As my graduation present to myself I bought a big ass pair of speakers, Savard or something like that, and a huge 90 watt per channel amplifier. It all got stolen a year later from my house in Houston.
