Members g4string Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 http://www.peavey.com/products/browse.cfm/action/detail/item/116440/number/00583910/cat/103/begin/1/PR%AE+15+.cfm GC will sell me these (pair) for $400 out the door. These will strictly be used for the rehersal room for my band. $400 is as much as I can spend. What do you think - is this a fair deal or could my money be spent better on something else.

Members soul-x Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yeah, they're worth it. At very least, they're much better than a lot of stuff in that price range. PRs are available almost eveywhere and the price is about what other discount retailers are charging for that box, so don't rush out to GC to buy them because you're afraid the deal will evaporate. FWIW, PSSL has a set of the 12s in thier outlet for $140. And, yes, occasionally better deals on higher quality boxes do pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarharv52 Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 I agree with soulman,check out the 12's.Perfect for vocals,lighter,less expensive.Do you have another PA since this is for rehearsal only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J. Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 And, yes, occasionally better deals on higher quality boxes do pop up. Yep, if you keep your eyes open you can get some good stuff for cheap. I bought a pair of EV FM-1202 wedges for two hundred bucks. They're old and heavy but they're very efficient and relatively smooth. For two bills I can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less power usually means less heat however. Let's hope this will translate into better reliablility and less thermal failures from the ''award winning'' Mackie active team.
