Members Art Flood Posted September 27, 2013 Members Share Posted September 27, 2013 I always keep an eye out for PRX612ms on evilbay as they are the building block of my current set up. I don't see too much used PRX so when one popped up at a reasonable price I always check it out. Owner was desperate to sell to raise money for overseas trip. I asked a few questions and got good answers - including the option to buy a second one.I ended up winning the auction - no one else even bid (which usually makes me think I paid too much).After the auction finished I get an email from the seller saying she had got the model number wrong - it was a 615. I was surprised and started thinking something dodgey was going on.Seller said they would refund the money but I was welcome to check out the speaker before I made a decision. They were near by, so I did. Turns out to be a young lass who had been using them for kiddies disco parties. Nice mum and obviously lots of money, Big house and a nice Merc in the carpark.The speakers (two of them) were in great condition with covers and stands and a couple of lights. We struck a very good deal on the second one and I took them all home for a price that I was more than happy with - good luck!Next day I set them up and played some loud music through them - after about 10 minutes some strange rattles developed - bad luckI pulled them apart and it was the typical problem with PRXs - the high frequency driver had come loose on the horn. I tightened both up and all was good.Not sure what I will do with these. I could probably turn a quick profit on ebay but I'll give em a run at tomorrows gig. I've always wanted one for a drum monitor but I think I'll try em on FOH first. I doubt whether they'll be any better than 12's as I always run them over subs - but handy if I ever need to leave the subs at home. I guess they'll give me a few more options and will give me a second system to rent out. I've still got gas for a set of RCFs though!Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members monthlymixcd Posted September 27, 2013 Members Share Posted September 27, 2013 Let me know your opinion with them as FOH over subs. I just picked up a pair of 615s used and I'm looking at putting 618XLF(s) under them for larger gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you end up paying, if you don't mind me asking? I paid a bit over a grand for the two of them - probably not that cheap in the US but pretty good for over here.
