[/quote] Only the expense. There are several threads on using pa speakers as bass speakers and if you like the sound of DId bass then these speakers should hadle this as well as any. It is still a 1x12 though, so enough for some people but not everyone. Try before you buy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Starr Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 [quote name='davehux' timestamp='1408018061' post='2526276'] I use a Behringer F1220A http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0028GWJCG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Solid, well made, with rubber bumpers on all the corners . Loads of power (forget the 125W thing, it is seriously loud) Nice 3 way EQ. The Feedback filter actually works!!! I know Behringer doesn't get much love on here, but mine gigs regularly and I've had no trouble at all from it. Hard to beat in a 'bangs for your buck' contest [/quote] It seems to me they are getting better. The limits to the 1220's are their volume. Max 113 dB from memory. However for most bands who play on cramped stages this should be enough. Once your monitors start to give feedback problems any extra volume isn't usable anyway. I've not tried them but I wouldn't dismiss them without hearing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I didn't know if it was "one listen and you'll know if it works" or "one listen and you'll understand why it doesn't work" .

I would be comparing it to a 1x12 setup anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
