    Question Choose new speakers? QSC K12.2 vs Pioneer XPRS12 vs JBL SRX812p?

    Hello folks

    I'm looking to new speakers but there are so much models... it's really not easy to choose.
    The speakers would be used for parties of 80 to 150 people (maybe 200) and the music is most of the time 70,80,90 or 2018 commercial / house / hardstyle.
    So I'm looking for speakers with enought bass to be abble to use them without sub.
    I've selected 3 models but I didn't had the chance to hear them until now :s
    - QSC k12.2
    - Pioneer XPRS12
    - JBL SRX812p

    Can you please give me your advice on them?
    Have you already heard them?
    Would you advice me an other model?

    Thank you in advance

    Take a look at the EV ETX 12p tops, very clean, lots of processing power, lots of headroom & a very rugged build quality.

    I agree with the ETX but go for the 10's, more than enough for your size event.

    I don't think 10s are a good idea for up to 200 people - especially playing house / hardstyle... 12s minimum, 15s better IMO.

    My vote would typically go to the QSC and we have a fleet of that gear the KW122 is my pick 3/4 of my jobs are just me with a pair of them NO SUB But adding that sub WOW acoustically and sonically will raise the bar even higher but be prepared for a bit more upper body strength moving it yourself LOL. But in this case I will have to say EV especially if its a stepping stone up. I just think the EV stuff is so darn solid. I have had some minor issues with the QSC and they have been enough that i would really think about going EV if i started again still QSC EV they are both great! Listen to BILLESC he has some very SOUND advice LOL

    FYI I still choose my KW122 over the KW152 I swear they it the bass harder and i can push them infact I cant even think of the last time I had the 15's out on any job? Oh and the 8,10,12 usually better dispersion of the horn which really does tick more boxes for your application

    I own a pair of QSC k12.2's - it has 2 settings (I think Dance and Bass Boost) that can be used so that you have more bass. Generally I would use 2 15's if I wanted more bass without a sub but the QSC k12.2's handle bass as well as some 15's so it might meet your needs.
