Members sickman Posted April 5, 2010 Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've been browsing craiglist for months and nothing is ever posted that I would consider. Finally something that seems like a good deal comes up. What do you think? I would use them as monitors with PRX 512s and as "throw around" speakers -- ie neighborhood pool parties, jams, etc . I've read on here 15 inch speakers don't make good monitors. I'd be adding them to my JBL PRX rig. I still haven't purchased the sub, but am in no hurry so I could pick up the EONs now.

Members bnelly428 Posted April 5, 2010 Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 the 315 or 515s? 515s i'd say yes, the 315s probably not, they're only 180watts rms to the cone or some such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allexcosta Posted April 5, 2010 Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 500 for these is an OK deal: For these I'd pass: 15" speakers work fine as monitors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sickman Posted April 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 How heavy are they? Would you be able to carry the pair in with one in each hand? I'll send the guy an e-mail and see which model they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have carried one in each hand but they come in at something like 46 to 50 pounds. The G2s are a pretty good throw around speaker and they can get stoopid loud. I liked the separate volume control for the high & low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sickman Posted April 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 They are the EON15P-1s that are only 130 watts.... and nearly 50lbs. I am going to pass. Thanks for the heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sickman Posted April 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 Not worth it. Good catch. That's why I come here. In a pinch I have a buddy who has a pair of EONs I could borrow. Actually, the only project I am involved in other than the band is with him and another buddy. It is more of a social thing as we are a loooooong way from playing out. It is more of a neighborhood/friendly jam type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dedmeet Posted April 5, 2010 Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 +1 to all advice given above. Honestly, if you need a pair of decent sounding lightweight speakers that, with a little help, can be used as monitors, you can get Peavey PR12s cheaper than the EONs you posted. I had a pair and used them everywhere I had an outside gig as they were light, weather resistant, and sounded decent. No, you will not do rock-concert volumes, but they work and they are cheap!

I had a pair and used them everywhere I had an outside gig as they were light, weather resistant, and sounded decent. No, you will not do rock-concert volumes, but they work and they are cheap! Yeah. I have been looking at them. My plan right now is to add a PRX 718 next (or maybe a pair of PRX 518), then I will focus on monitors, then upgrade the mixer, and then the second sub. Right now, I'm in no hurry as I am currently playing with a band that has a "full" PA. If I saw a good deal that fit in my plan I would move on it, but you guys have all pretty much said this is not one. If I need something in the meantime I can rent, borrow, or purchase because at that point I would actually "need" it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members magdream Posted April 7, 2010 Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 what about $500.00 for a pair of EON 305s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
