I currently have K8's for an acoustic act (Still in it's infancy)
I think the K8's sound really good especially behind me where I can hear them myself without monitors. (I actually think I sound good) From my limited exposure to hearing them out front, I think they fall a little short as far as getting the sound deeper into the audience. I am looking to go with a larger speaker for better "throw". (btw I already read a bunch about the word "throw". I'm sure most of you know what I mean)
I had looked into the SxA360's before purchasing the K8's. I got a good deal so I jumped on them (after comparing to the ZxA1) I have heard the SX100's as well as the SxA100's and figured the 360's must be a good speaker. (No, I haven't heard them) I always heard that 12's are great for vocals (so I don't know why I went for 8's) but I was pretty impressed with the K8's.
I don't need BIG power and expect that a full range speaker will do nicely without subs (and realize that many of you are Pro Sound and wouldn't consider running a PA without subs)
For my application I have heard better things about the K10's than the K12's. here is also FBT, RCF, and Yorkville's contenders in this speaker size, weight, and power.
Looking for any and all opinions.
(btw I have a very good price quote on the 360's) I am not worrried about the "dated" look. I want clear, natural, pristine vocals in a lightweight cab that would sound as good outdoors at a beach as they would in a small coffee shop at low volume.
