OK...so I know a guy, who had owned the ElectroVoice XLC DVX rig (12 box) . He ran them with hi end Powersoft amps, and over X Line subs and the DX46 processors
He once told me he had a gig where there were 2 main and separate areas in a large convention center, more or less equal, and he had the one room (XLC hang was 6 boxes per) and another company had the other area, who used the HDL20a, also flown
He told me he wished he had gone with the HDL20a as he was "shocked it kept up with his, was smaller, and self powered".
I wish this is something I could of heard myself, as I have been a fan of XLC for years and was considering some, and more so I am in a heavy market here for XLC
But that is a BOLD statement I have not forgotten. So on the long shot, anyone have experience with both for a comparison/ contrast?
Weird, but both these boxes were ones I have really considered for a long time (along with VT4888's). And yes, every penny counts....I am a modest size place. And in a whole other category, Nexo Alpha. But we kinda have that general vibe handled on the cheap with some XI-1183
We can't stock everything, especially on the audio as we are more small time there....but want one SOLID rig. Think Midas M32 budgets, not Calrec Alpha 100. Hence the older, or more cost effective, technology appeals to us, but the new RCF's are in range
thanks
