What kind of amp do you got? You want to make sure to get the right speakers so that it's compatible with your amp. Or you can get self-powered speakers if you don't have an amp.

Amp i recommend Pioneer for home use (it should suffice for loudness in a home. Pioneer makes top notch quality audio products)

Speakers: yes definately jbl

This is all you need, just one of them, at least thats what i have, and I love everything that comes outta that thing. It is so fucking loud, and even has its own amp so you don't have to buy one seperately!

STATS:

A state-of-the-art powered cab.

biamped polypropylene cabinet of sophisticated design features a 15" woofer with neodymium magnet, a titanium diaphragm driver on a low-distortion bi-radial horn, 2 separate amps (130W LF and 50W HF) with toroidal transformers for driving each speaker, and an active built-in crossover. Protection circuitry shuts down amps if overheating occurs and a system of aluminum fins provides active cooling for the whole system. The entire cab is relatively light, built to take abuse, and sounds fantastic. 17"W x 27"H x 17-1/2"D. 46 lbs.

Features:

biamped polypropylene cabinet
15" woofer with neodymium magnet
2 separate amps (130W LF and 50W HF) with toroidal transformers
Active built-in crossover
17"W x 27"H x 17-1/2"D
46 lbs.

Hope that helped!

peace.

Steve

W0rd. That maybe what I'm looking for.
Maybe not though, I would not use it for PA (yet).

I have it in my room, its perfect for anyone! The greatest investment in sound I've ever spent on! It retails for $399 US Dollars.

so do u plug that speaker right into the back of ur mixer?

Posted by reso on Jul-30-2003 03:27:

do yourself a favor especially if you are serious about dj'ing

skip all that shit and just save up for jbl eon 15 g2's

they run at $699 each but they are the best speakers ever for home use

yeah, easy as that! I have DJM-600 and it has the out for it, but I don't know if all mixers have the outputs pioneer offers on the 600.

I got 2 JBL SF15's and a Crown Ce-1000. Everything sounds mint. The JBL EON 15 G2 are also very nice as reso previously said. The best thing is to go to Guitar Center, or a something similar, and ask the sales rep to test out some speakers for you. This will give you a general idea of differnet speakers. Ask the sale rep questions as they are their to help you. Also make sure to get a soild amp like Crown to match your speakers.

not trying to be picky but wouldnt you want two so you can have that whole stereo effect, left and right channels... i just love hearing some songs where one hit-hat comes outta one speaker and a clap comes outta the other one... it'll probably make the music in your room sound more spacious that way

Posted by twizta on Jul-31-2003 09:11:

ohh...i think i'll go with

put them in 4 corners of my room

Posted by PVD fanatic on Jul-31-2003 10:09:

how much do these run? And what exactly are these models and model numbers?

Posted by amdmaxx on Aug-01-2003 01:44:

go to www.outlawaudio.com and get a nice AMPS from there.. highly recommended in HT society..
http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/200.html#
Cerwin Vega and JBL are good speakers..

Your best advice on an amp? Somthing 10+ years old and made in the U.S.A., NO controls like volume, balance, treble, ect. All you need in inputs, outputs, power switch is nice(right Mr. Carver?!!) and weighs a ton! 45+ Lbs. I can guarantee you a reciever ain't gonna do it for under $5000.

Today people by frills and the more flash it has chances its gonna sell right? Many years ago some companies CUT important things like Power Switches, quality terminals, fans and glamour to put better quality componets (Higher current MosFET's, Bigger Caps,Bigger Transformers inside the plain stamped steel box right? What would you rather have Quality Sound or Quality Glam?

Check audioreview.com & Ebay for $500 - $700 you'll get an 10 - 20 year old dinasour amp that shitkicks and will still outlast every piece of stereo equipment you own

Posted by amdmaxx on Aug-01-2003 11:53:

www.audiogon.com is better than ebay.. Electronics only..
outlawaudio.com makes awesome amps for money..

Just out of curiosity, has anyone actually had any experience with this set up? This is what I'm thinking about picking up:

yes I thought about that. It's just that my budget for speakers isn't the highest. These are the original eon15's then correct? I'd like to buy two but I'm not sure if it's really worth it seeing as how most others don't seem to have the most expensive speakers in their home set-up and seem to do fine. I can get each one for probably a little over 300 a piece (USD), are these speakers - just for home use worth it? Or will one give me everything for real? Yea i already asked that, but for everything else?
