<< What's your overall opinion of the JBL Power15? >>

I have two EON PAC 15's (like a Power 15, but with a built in mixer, eq, efx
send/return, etc.), two EON Power 10's, and three EON POWER Subwoofers. These
get used in a variety of theatrical and performance setups -- as main band
PA, as monitors, and as keyboard rigs. A very respectable sound can be made
using almost any combination. The flexibility afforded me by having the
several models in the same line means I can go into any situation and make
good. Being able to use the 10's (with or without a sub) for monitors while
the 15's are in use as the mains means, I think, that my monitors have a good
chance of matching the tonal characteristics and level response of my mains.
I've gotten in the habit of using a real-time spectrum analyzer to sort out
the freq response(s) of the system(s), and the four-band eq on the PAC 15's
is a real help.

For keyboard rigs where good acoustic piano and good organ is required, I
would strongly recommend adding the Power Sub. This puts lots of extra watts
down there where you need some satisfying beef. It contains appropriate low
pass filtering, so you can just feed it a full-spectrum line signal, chained
off your mains, and avoid an external crossover. Mackie has some comparable
units out now which you oughta take a look and listen at.
