So, a local shop got in a pair of excellent shape PVDJ DJS5 mains. They appear to have a scorpion woofer and rx22 tweet. They claim 700w program. I am trying to decide if these would be a good upgrade from my jbl jrx115s. I have always liked the tone of peavey mains, and the added power handling would be awesome. However, I am having a hard time finding any spec sheets or manual for this speaker. I am specifically looking for sensitivity, frequency response, and polar patterns.

They claim 700w program. I am trying to decide if these would be a good upgrade from my jbl jrx115s. I have always liked the tone of peavey mains, and the added power handling would be awesome.'Power handling' is correct as the power rating does not define the output, only how much power it can handle. FWIW, the 350W/700W/1,400W ratings for the DJS 5 versus the 250W/500W/1,000W ratings of the JRX115 represent less than a 1.5dB difference, so if the sensitivities are equal then many people may not even notice the difference.
However, I am having a hard time finding any spec sheets or manual for this speaker. I am specifically looking for sensitivity, frequency response, and polar patterns.It looks like there may be limited product data to start with and that it may not be readily available. It was apparently a modified SP5 and the intended market probably didn't care that much about sensitivity, polar response, etc.
Yeah, that's about what I figured; I'm just always after a way to step up my rig. I guess the lack of specs implies that I shouldn't be interested. Ill see if i can get a hold of peavey and get the missing specs up here for future reference.
Alright, well, I suppose Ill stick with my bottom of the line JBLs ;) (Hey, at least my gear pays for itself after two gigs :P )
