A question for those of you who sometimes play smaller gigs with your own PA:
- Larger gigs, we go FOH. So, there are usually higher end PA speakers
- Smaller gigs, like benefit concerts or smaller clubs we use our own PA, a Mackie 808s. The speakers are JBL EON15s.
Some of the monitors being mentioned, like the RCF, are over $1200 a piece. They make the Axe sound awesome. But...the sound through the EON15s isn't as good. I'm assuming it's a good idea to have higher quality PA speakers so the audience gets the benefit of the better sound, more so than me as the guitarist.
So...what are you guys using? Any recommendations for something better than the EON15s without spending $1400 per speaker? I'm not tied into using powered vs unpowered as I can always get another PA or power amp/mixer. I'm also ok with buying used gear.
