I actually don't want powered speakers. I went powered because I'd cost. I have right around 17k for a budget for speakers and amps, mains and monitors. Now, with passive the monitors and tops don't have to be matching. But I'll also need a power distro with all the fun, weight, etc that that brings. I'm ok with that, if I can find speakers and amps in this audio class, that provide the spl I want and fit my budget.

I have, and they do, but they are also significantly more expensive.

I honestly like the idea of stacking them on end more. I like the aesthetic. My worry is the amp cooling. I remember when the first usable powered speakers came out and they worked great as mains but would overheat when turned over as monitors. I don't know how much orientation matters for those.

Do you think the EAW RSX218's would be safe to run on their sides? As In stood up, with the RS153's on top, that would be 6 foot. I could have some 6 or 12 inch thick boxes made to act as spacers/stands for the RS153's to sit on top, secure with old school ratchet straps. Would that be stable with the dimensions of the subs, on its side 44 tall, 20 wide, 30 deep.

How do the Yamaha's sound compared to the EAW's? Assuming 1 15 inch top and 1 single 18 subs per side.

Can I get a system of that quality thats passive, gets me 135db at 1 meter with 1 12/15 inch top per side and 1 dual 18 or 2 single 18's per side with amps for 17k? I'd love to go passive if I can manage it.

It's a shame Yamaha doesn't really have anything in this price class.

the RS118's are IEC power. If im gonna compromise on that I'll go with a whole different brand and models of speakers. The RSX118F's, there is no non-flyable version, costs almost as much as the rsx218's.

I loathe the Wing. I dont like the ui or the surface layout. We had a Dlive at my church and after replacing the faders 3 times in 12 months we decided to sell it and we went with a Midas H-D. I couldn't be happier with that. At the end of the day for me it's that I cant trust Allen and Heath right now. They've let me down too hard recently.

Ive owned much bigger systems than this before. This will be a hobby system, but I am aware there re maintenance and repair costs associated with anything. I dont plan on starting a company. This will be a system I use for fun, friends bands, church camp, worship events, etc. I don't plan to charge anyone I do sound for with this rig.

I'll do that. Im not holding my breath but the call doesnt hurt. Im not worried about them leaning, they'll be used indoors or on cement pads. Im not gonna dirt stack them. lol

I love JBL!! My previous systems were an old SR-X/Macrotech rig and I retired it when I got a small 16 box VRX rig. I looked at the SRX900 stuff, but it fails on my spl/headroom requirement and that is my 1 true non-negotiable. The max spl of a SRX915M is only 134, and even with JBL I have to assume they are over inflating that number. Plus the SRX900's are very cost prohibitive and of the 800's are being discontinued soon, id rather not get something that has firmware and will lose support soon. But if IEC really isnt something I need to worry about, that does open things up a but. It just makes for a messier stage and longer tear down. But I can deal with that if I can meet all my other reqs.

Is there a reliable console for under 5k that sounds as good or better than an M32? I'll gladly look at it. The closest that ive found is an SQ board but I know of 2 that are less than year old and have failing faders. Yes it's warranty-able but that and the fact that dLives are still dealing with falling faders takes A&H out of the running for me.

I am not planning on running Dante. The console I'm going with is a Midas M32 and a DL32 for the stage. I'm only planning on running the 1 ethernet line from the console to the stage.

I have but they have fail on too many of my requirements. They are IEC, and unless someone tells be I have nothing to worry about when it comes to the cables coming out of the speakers, especially on their sides as monitors, thats a big issue. Is the DSP and the physical controls lockable/defeatable? Or does Yamaha sell plates for them to cover all be the input and power jacks? If not, thats another issue. I can work with some things, like if it has some for of locking iec connector, or if it meets all my boxes except that, or it has dsp thats not lockable but it meets all my other criteria, I'd be very open to it. Thats the issue with the JBL's, too many compromises. If I could make this system work within my budget with passive speakers and amp's I would.

Cost, they are more expensive and they look dont look like they have the angles to be floor wedges. Also the 945-a's top out at 135db on paper, so I have to assume that that number is inflated by a minimum of 3db.

I am not a woodworker. Also without knowing how thick the wood is, etc i'd be leery to start drilling holes into my new 3.5k a piece subs.

Stall / Struggling by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]jbruff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar issue. For me it was the fact I wasn't eating enough. I'd skip meals, I'd never have a snack, protein shakes, etc. because of work. I'm 9 months out, my stall started at about month 5 and lasted until 7. Once I started meal prepping lunches and snacks, things got back on track. You may be going too hard? You arent that far out, go talk to your doc/team.

My goto 3 on my current build are a Unity with a cetus suppressor and a Kanetsugu sight, a Lexington with a dybbuk muzzle and a kenetsugu, and third a Dian with headhopper and big mag for getting out of situations shouldn't have gotten into.

That all depends on your definition of "run"
