I find it interesting people are so interested in the amplifier power of these yet unavailable loudspeakers, while the Yamaha site claims an FIR based crossover.
Hello........
I wonder if anyone would buy it if it did an honest 136dB with half that much power?
"No, that won't work for me. I don't want a loudspeaker that's only 650 watts."
Sheesh......

I heard the PRX500 series at a concert I attended for the Gibson Brothers. Although a little light for the outdoor venue they were in, I was impressed by the output for the size. I decided the rent them for front fills at a couple of festivals I provided for this summer. I was further impressed having the chance to actually work with them.
When hearing JBL was releasing the 600 series at a lower price I was curious, but not yellow.
I did the A/B test with my ears. Compared the 500 to the 600, also the ever popular Mackie 450, an FBT & Samson. (not sure of the models) For my money, the PRX 600 won.
One thing with the PRX 600 that I really like is the little blue light on front verses the big orange square that says, "I'm ON"
