RCF ART 708-A MK4 - 8 2-Way 800W Active Speaker

Brilliant

I replaced a pair of Alto PS 4HA with a pair of these. A tanky 360W 12"+1" 2 way speaker that was great value back in 2006. You get what you pay for in speaker land. I shopped around and looked at my needs very closely. This is a compact no bells and whistles package that packs a deep and mighty punch and doesn't rely on a fan (convection cooled.) These speakers have a very wide flat frequency response. The bottom end response extends down a fa... Show Moreir bit lower than my last system (despite being a 10" compared to 12") and the highs go higher. The last system now sounds like it's being run through a high and low cut filter compared to these. It's so much nicer on the ears over longer periods and you can feel the difference when pumping dance music through it. No complaints. And these things get loud. I've had them up louder than I would need in 95% of scenarios and the sound quality refuses to drop off. It's unbelievable how far speaker design has come in the last 10 years. I miss having handles on the sides but because it's so light, I haven't found lifting them on to stands to be an issue whatsoever. And it'd probably compromise the sound due to taking out volume of the cabinet. Couldn't recommend this speaker highly enough. Built like a tank yet weighs considerably less.Show Less
