[quote title=Jonathan Wiegratz wrote on Wed, 24 March 2010 04:28]Admittedly I'm a QSC fanboy... and these look nice, but I think QSC didn't really think this through. These are pretty much birch K-series. Looking at specs side by side, this looks like a compromise between K's and HPR's.
My question now... why would anyone buy a K-series unless they heavily discount them.
QSC had an opportunity to improve the HPR's and make a HPR "v2", IE; make a SRX quality-type powered cab... and didn't. Instead they made something that makes original K-line, for the most part, useless now.
Then again - I could be completely wrong, and these are the new K-series... and they have a new HPR in the works due later this year???

I dont mean for this post to sound argumentive, just kinda thinking out loud.
The K series amps are based of the new DCA or GX digital amp design while the HPR used the RMX amps.
This also gives the K/KW series better limiting and processing. From what I was told, the limiting is rather new in design for these new powered speakers and the QSC guy's are pretty proud of this.
Saying all this to say, Im thinking this is the "souped up" or "new and improved" HPR line. Or atleast the next run in the ladder!
