Older pa vs. Newer pa
Alex Gribatsch:
Hello. New to this forum. I was curious about older pa speakers vs the newer ones. I have 4 peavey 115 international speakers. Is it worth replacing these speakers with newer ones. I'm looking at jbl srx835's or equivalent. Thanks for any opinions.

The 115 international had quite a few different iterations, starting in the early 80's or even sooner. Knowing exactly which ones you might have would tell a little more about what they can do. However, the Peavey 115 international and the JBL SRX835 are wildly different classes of speakers. The JBLs aren't just better because they are newer. Just like JBLs newer entry level line can't compete against their higher end lines.
Back in the day when I had 115's, I was able to make them sound pretty darned good. Back in the 90's, price per dollar Peavey was a heck of a deal. Rock solid speakers that you could drive into stupid and they just took the abuse.
Of course, they got a bad rep because inexperienced users would drive them into stupid and as such make them sound like crap. More expensive cabs would have just fried and stop making sound. But, driven appropriately, I've not been disappointed with the older Peavey offerings.
