    Do you think an Everse 12 would sound significantly worse k.12.2? ... I want a speaker with a battery and I'm torn between buying an everse 8 for around town or selling my k.12.2 to buy everse 12... around town would be acoustic guitar and vocals, but my use case for k.12 at home is a power amp for my electric guitar modelers and also playing practice tracks... would I miss the QSC at home if I went with one everse 12 speaker for everything?

    • @Wouter.ErweeTech
      @Wouter.ErweeTech  6 місяців тому

      I love BOSE systems, sometimes they are almost a bit too clever. Lots of processing going on in the background. But they sound good! If you are just using speakers for yourself and you love the sound of the BOSE, I say stick with it. If you wanna have something that you could pair with a second rental set or maybe rent out to other people I would say the JBL is the way to go.

      ​@Wouter.ErweeTech I have never had anyone be disappointed with my Bose systems and I agree with you about JbL. I have them too. I would never lone or rent out any of my Bose speakers.
      Great video and I appreciate your comment!

    The K12.2 sound good but they suck! They have too many random problems. Not even being blown but the OS just messes up. Turns on and off and to switch the out with warranty, have some the just randomly clip and stay that way for no reason when the other ones are at the same volume, I have a pair that just flickers on and off. I own 12 of these only 5 are still good. Meanwhile RCF sounds better and is way louder. 945a is a 15 inch but I don’t run Bass pass 80hz through my tops when I say that rcf is like a concert speaker… 1 is equal to 2 of these

      @Wouter.ErweeTech  2 місяці тому

      Hello, interesting!
      I have never heard of 7 or 12 K12 having issues. That seems like a really high ration. Interested, are you running in the US or 220v? Power conditioner?
      I love RCF. Owned one of the first TT's line array systems when they originally came out. The 945a is amazing but you should probably compare that to a SRX915P.
