Just wondering if anybody has done a direct FBT Verve 12ma vs. RCF ART 322-A sound comparison?
Seems everybody has been going crazy over the FBT lately, but the RFC 322-A doesn't seem to get much love around here. I bought a 322A a few months back and it has worked wonderfully with my Boss GT-10 and Roland TD-9SX electronic drum kit. I just purchased an AxeFX Ultra today and look forward to hearing how it works with my RCF.
Looking at the basic specs:
RCF ART 322-A
26.5"x16"x13.5"
51lb.
FR: 45Hz to 20kHz
Max SPL: 128db
FBT Verve 12ma
21"x15"x12"
42lb.
FR: 60hz-20kHz
Max SPL: 123db
Here are detailed specs if interested:

From that, the 12ma is more compact/lightweight, but not by a large amount. From the other specs, the RCF seems to be the winner. Some folks may prefer the wood construction of the FBT compared to the RCF's composite construction. I like the hookup options of the RCF better. Is the coaxial speaker array of the FBT that much better? Pricewise, the FBT appears to be the winner. But I don't think people research RCF enough. With some shopping, I got my 322A brand new a-stock for less than what an HPR122i normally sells for and very close to the price people have mentioned for the FBT.
I guess I'm somewhat rooting for what I bought, but also am interested in how the 12ma measures up against the 322A.
If anybody has compared the two soundwise, it would be awesome to hear their thoughts. .
