Where are you getting your pricing Luke?
Current TMS122M MAP is $650
As usual, a call to me or any of the other MG dealers on this board would probably be a good idea.
If you need a dedicated wedge from Turbosound, the TFM and TFX boxers are the current crop. Available in powered and passive versions.
There's also the RCF NX12SMA, which has enjoyed much love on this board but is a step up in price.
I actually tried the TFX122M-AN. I liked that box a lot, but found it to be a little underpowered for my needs. I decided to return them and shoot for the higher powered TFM. This was right before the recent TFX/TFM price drop. At the new price I might have kept the TFX. I decided to hold off and play the game of "how low can they go" on the TFM...until now.
I would like the new monitor system to be able to cover SOS gigs as well. The 60x40 pattern of the TFX/TFM seemed pretty tight on stage. That combined with the connectors landing on the top of the box (when on a speaker stand) made me decide they might not ideal for SOS applications. I might be over thinking that.
And although I'm fan of powered boxes, I do have a series of events where good old fasion passive boxes would be ideal--quicker to deploy. So thats how I landed on the TMS122M.
It looks like I might be the guinea pig here, as I went ahead and ordered the TMS122M. I'm not a measurement guru, but I can probably post a transfer function when the boxes come in, if anyones interested.
