I have two that I bought to use at a rehearsal place. I have been using RCF NX 12 speakers for years and love them. I keep the RCF speakers at my house and use output one to feed them or go to FOH. I did not want to move them back and forth from home to rehearsals.
The EV PXM 12MP looked close to the RCF's but 1/2 the cost so I gave them a try using output 2 and global eq to adjust. I was able to get pretty close to what RCF sounded like with using the AXE FX 3 output 2 eq and the EQ on the EV'S with out making any changes to my patches.
They are much better than the RCF on the dispersion of sound. I can move around much more and not lose the sweet spot.
My RCF'S are still #1 for tone but may have been bump out due to how close I got the EV to sound with much better coverage of sound.
I'm lookin for some FRFRs and could use some people's opinions...I've done a lot of research and I've narrowed it down a bit:
You say RCFs are best for tone (which makes me want them)
Yamaha DXR10s (Apparently tons of people have and love these also and I've heard a youtube video where they sounded great!)
The EV PXM-12MP are also very high up on my list from what people are saying...but if the RCFs have superior tone why not get the RCFs.
Finally JBL SRX812P is a serious contender!
I play a lot of stuff but mainly heavy metal sort of things.
