A pair of G Eon bought in 2004

I use these speakers with a Yamaha 01V table is solo acoustic guitar and voice, or with my blues band (guitar, bass, drums, piano & hammond and voice), or in small parties with DJ, or to add sound to small events.

At first I admit I was quite disappointed. First, it should tighten all hardware which tends to run down quickly and to "crack" the speakers, but a screwdriver and turn the problem was no longer asked for. Then I really wondered where were the 400 watts RMS announced. In fact, 50 m away from you and you will find a sound fidelity without aggressiveness. To get better you have to go to three-way systems, more powerful, larger and more expensive especially ...

What I like most: portability, the overall audio quality, reasonable price and they are pregnant that grow far the sound ...

What I like least: the finishes that require a screwdriver stroke, they lack a little low, but with two channels do not dream either.

In any case even in extreme conditions (for these speakers that is) they are loyal, strong and have surprised more than a musician or DJ. All this is to have a proper table, know-how and ears that come with it. Personally I put the bass at 3 o'clock, treble at 2 o'clock, on the volume it is about 9-10am and noon in the outdoor club.

They are less than HK nasal, more loyal than Behringer, with more bass than the EV, robust and reliable and have a value in my opinion unbeatable. I admit I just find it difficult to understand that the subs that come with it are only 200W which I think is ridiculous (500 or 600 would have seemed more coherent) and if anyone can enlighten me on this.

I would do without hesitation that choice knowing that I'll keep them as back side for later (watch the DVD of the Crossroads festival and you will see in the side of the stage !)...

For more power and I hesitate between three-way JBL PRX 535 DB Technologies Flexsys or f315 or Forty-line QLS 151, if anyone can find out about the quality of these systems is welcomed.
