Nice timing with this video. Lol. Agree with all the points especially the height of the array and positioning. I think I am gonna go with the 8(s) though for my smaller weddings.

Great review I seen the Rick Web video and everyone is entitled to their opinion and position on any issue. I felt like if the companies put these speakers out for sale they had a particular market and design use for this setup. You hit it dead on the head because Rick was trying to make these array speakers his main go to Gig setup for Cost and portability and it smacked him in the face when facing a large venue and crowd. I'm not bashing Rick but sometimes we jump to quick for equipment to be the first out the box and I been in this game over 30 years and the same companies exist then and now so they have not got this far by not having a great R&D program. Again another great vlog love the passion and delivery what all DJ's should come with first!!💯

It's crazy how the price for these have jumped. I just purchased one and it cost $1200 now. Other similar speakers from LD have also jumped in price as well. I do love the J8 though. I'll be getting a second one real soon.

This column array debate is causing a stir! Personally I’m not convinced 😎🎧👍🏻

I just order the Jmix8 for ceremonies. I'm also going to get the new Art 945 for my main rig. Nice video.

Now I know that this video was posted about a year ago, and in it you state that the J8 sells for $800. I’d like to know where or send me a link to where I can buy them for $800. B’cuz everywhere I look they’re selling for $1000. And the Evox 8 is selling for $1700, not $1000 like you state in the video. So if you know where I can purchase these at the price you said, please send me a link. I would definitely appreciate it. Thank you.

Just ordered a pair today, I’m excited!

I think your video put me over the edge, gonna get a white j8 and one Jmix for 2020. And yes, I would think 150 adult guests would be the limit on these.

Well of course column array systems don't suck lol. Glad you put a positive spin on it and not a negative one like someone else did... not gonna mention any names hahaha.

Thanks for the video. I have the EV 50's and love them (other than the price tag). I found that not having the ability to rise and turn the tops makes them hard to use for karaoke bar gigs (singers stand in front and use them as monitor and wonder why they keep getting feedback). If I had to do it over I would go with the RCF instead, having the option to raise and turn would be great. I just started using a pair of QSC K8 and use the evolve subs (off my booth) when I break from singers and doing a dance set. I wish EV would give you the option to purchase a taller "stick".

I have 4 of the EV50's in white and two of the JBL ENO Pro and I love them all. Im 6'1" and my EV50's top is over my head so they work great for me just like I'm sure your EVOX 8 are great for you. The JBL ENO are only for ceremonies and cocktail hours there's no way I would try using them for reception party but I do love them. I do love the EV50's looks (no cables)and sound over the Evox8 when turned up but that's my opinion. Great video and good column Array don't suck not sure what was going on with DJ Rick

Yo Logan ... have evolve 50s and love em for what I do 90% of time .. I supplement sound with Yamaha dxr 10s ... definitely like having multiple options for events

Mine were supposed to be delivered yesterday! All I got were the cases! Ugh. White is sharp, but I got the black. Maybe in 2020 I’ll buy white for that write off! Can’t wait

Hello Sir, this is the first time that I have been on your channel. I will say that your content is far more accurate than others. Good Job! I would like to add a point or two. I have a pair of Turbosound IP1000's. I chose TS because of my experience with installed sound in big arenas and being familiar with their products. I also use a pair of Behringer (I know - gulp) 12" subs too. I sit the IP1000's on top of each sub and once I have set the sound for the room, the experience is quite pleasant. I have used this setup with success and groups just over 400 people. I am more of a proponent of how it is used vs what is being used. You can have the best gear money can buy, be a sound idiot, and the experience will not be pleasant. Conversely, you can use gear that is perceived to be inferior (Behringer 12" subs") and if the sound man has a clue, you can do more with less. Most people today do not have a clue when it comes to sound. And these folks need active set ups, with built in DSP, because their skill is subpar. Nothing wrong with that, nothing at all. They just should NOT be handing out sound advice making blanket statements like "column arrays suck". Great channel! Well done sir!

Great video! I’m Michigan made myself, up in ‘da U.P.

i got these and love it ....i am trying to buy 2 more ....just look better and easy for gigs in and out super fast and nto sure why ppl still use old speakers on tripod legs and looks so bad

basically this is not a column array design because a true column array like on JBL eon one MK1 or 2, you don't need to rotate the tower, it has a 360 coverage

Hello! Great review! Do you think they are better than HK POLAR 12? Because here they cost 120€ less than HK

Where’d ya get the white cables?

Awesome video bro, compared to the video that Rick Web put out today... his was wacked

Great job on the review. I am trying to decide between the J8 and Bose F1 pro 8. I will only use this in an environment of about a 1000 sq. ft mostly for karaoke and music. Can I use the J8 alone (not JMIX8) with a Yamaha mixer (MG10XU)? Do you have an opinion on the J8 vs the F1 pro 8 as far as sound goes? THanx!

dude.!! what was the size on the tukie covers??

I would like to buy a speaker, I am going to use it for an acoustic guitar and voice duo, what do you recommend? RCF ebox 8 or Bose L1pro16?

listening to Rick Web's review.. he did not speak bad about the RCF nor the Evolve.. Guessing that someone who has the JBL Pro and the BOSE should make an honest review about them... Or do like BARR in a video I saw... have a side by side comparison.

Thank you so much for this video, it is very helpful. I am still debating on the evolve 50's or the J8. Are you still pretty happy with these a year later? Are you glad you got the white instead of black?

Small, expensive, plastic speakers that cannot handle any type of gig? The acoustics of passive system, wooden enclosures are great for any event. They last longer because they have less parts that could fail.

One thing I never hear highlighted about column arrays is the lower crossover point between the tops and bottoms. The lower crossover point keeps the vocals in the tops and out of the bottoms - which for live sound is ideal. I have the JMIX8’s fwiw.

Looking for mainly ceremony/cocktail speaker. Turn between the Jmix 8 and the Eon one Pro. Love the battery powered option of the JBL but debating what would be the best option. Which do you think is best option to go with?

Do you think is a good beginner step up ..can I do more then 100 people wedding ...I come from mackie thump. ..

Is the white color sexier than black?

Will this set sup sound better then two mackie thumps 15 ...that’s what I have current

They don't suck, they're ok for vocals and convivial surroundings but if you want deep growling vocals and the punch and buzz you expect on a dancefloor they just dont have it im afraid...it's the same issue we all have when we have a large, flat TV.. the speakers aren't enough...so you buy a soundbar. The only good thing is the weight and ease ...but if you want a real sound get some heavier but better gear.

Thanks for the review! I was thinking about buying 1 J8 for backyard parties. Do I need 2? My back yard is 50yards x 75 yards. not that big. thanks.

great content like the breakdown..

Great review ! Any thoughts about the evox12?

Can I hook up an external mixer to this to run a mic?

How many people can I do with set up with these

what your thoughts on adding an additional 15” sub for this setup? worth it? thank you

Some nice features and love the white I use the Ev 50 and love it. Glad to see folks sharing opinions but I think the young man that stated that these kind of speakers “suck” is simply looking for attention. He has a huge following and appears very knowledgeable but tends to “stir the pot”. I guess this is his style.

awesome those speakers are nice and slim

Oh man...Rick Webb is gonna put a dis track out on you for disagreeing with his reviews!,

excellent review! :)

Can you please make a review for your rcf 735?

I don’t understand how these went from $800 to $12000 and the evolve 50 remain same Pride RCF price gauging

Where did you get them for this good price ? Where would you suggest now ?

Hey bro, i've been thinking about getting the Jmix8 for small gigs but don't want to compromise on stereo sound... so does one Jmix8 and one J8 sound like the way to go?

what would u say for a column against a traditional 2 way ? does this act more like a speaker and a subwoofer or would a 2 way 12" or 15" have the same amount of bass ? price wise they are in the same range as ETX 15p , QSC KW122 , JBL PRX815w and others , looking for outdoor moves but it will be under my balcony a bit so it will have some sound reinforcement

Hey bro-just picked one of these up!! You put on bass boost during your events? Thanks and be well!

Would these be a step up from a pair of K12s?

Did you do a post of your rolling booth? Sounds awesome

Do these have more low end than the evolve 50s?

Hey there Mr. LoStax. I heard you say 76~150 people, these would be great. I was wondering, is that the most you would try, or do you think they could do more. I have harbinger mls900s right now and I can't decide if it is worth upgrading. I got a great deal on the harbingers last year($600 for 2 at musicians friend). Now I see these and wonder if I should pull the trigger.

Nice succinct review

Hey brotha which tuki cover did you order for your j8.

so are the J8's good for 250 or less?

I dont know about your.pricing... but send me a link where i can get evox8 for 1k.. The best i have seen is high $1300 for 1

Do you also have the jmix8?

I wish these were still $800 a piece..

Meh I prefer original PA speakers

These are consumer, not prosumer gear.

GO BIG OR GO HOME. GET THE RCF EVOX 12. PORTEBLE & WAY MORE POWERFUL THAN THIS J8. YOU'RE WELCOME!!!

I would never buy something that couldn’t tackle all my events. That’s just dumb.
