(by that i mean speakers that are small enough and light enough to move without a team of roadies, but still be loud enough while sounding good!)
The K12 are really great for tops and a pair of K10 does wonders for monitors. http://www.qscaudio.com/products/speakers/K_Series/ |

I just don't get it...

EV doesn't havbe a strong record in their "cheaper" equipment, in the higher end stuff its phenomenal. but the LIVEx series looks pretty promising and at a great price. |
