RCF already had an upgraded version of the 745a on the market. The NX 45-A is nearly identical, but with a wooden cabinet and a few minor tweaks. I reviewed them here if you care to know more. https://forums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/topic,168797.0.html

It too doesn't have RDNet, but that's ok. My speaker mgt system already has something very similar built-in.

Yes the NX45'a looks like a great speaker but the deal breakers for me are the lack of HPF for use with subs and the extra weight.

A bit on the heavy side for sure; however, I think the $1800.00 USD price tag is what would keep the majority of bar bands from purchasing them.

As for touring?  Might be very attractive.

I think each self powered speaker should have processing to extract the band pass it needs and not be dependent on another speaker.

Seems JBL puts the crossover in the subs to try and make you buy matching subs & tops.

Agree 1000%

I wouldn't put much faith in mixing the crossovers between brands/lines.  When you use "matching subs and tops" you are at least using what (presumably) the engineering team intended.  When you grab brand A top and Brand B bottom you might get lucky and find that they combine well but I wouldn't expect it to be optimal.  Except for combat audio, I prefer much more control over things like crossovers and system EQ.  Namely, a separate DSP that I painstakingly dialed in.  Besides, who's NOT using aux fed subs these days?

I'm not (not that that means anything...).

Otherwise, agree with your point about mixing components (again, not that that means anything  ).

Yep,............ and how do you use aux fed subs, if your main's signal is coming from a crossover built into the sub ?

For sure.  Why cheap out and only use a few pieces of a system when you can use a full system?  A DSP won't break the bank.  Yes you'll need to learn how to align a system, but isn't that part of audio?

I would venture to guess that 98% of the people setting up this type of gear have no idea how to properly align it.

True, which is the root problem. 

Scale of 1 to 10, not linear but you get the point-
1- can twist knobs
2- owns part of a system
3- can hear
6- owns a complete system
10- owns a complete system, knows how to deploy it, knows how to deliver a great mix, knows how to make money

Owning a good DSP (check out the Xilica QR) will hopefully lead to learning more about how to deploy the system better.
