ELX 112 : Great value

Pros: Great Mids and highs, looks awesome, very clear FRFR could replace my Mackie MR524 monitors on stands next to/behind my desk. Weight is decent for wood cab. If you not playing heavy bass music these are awesome. Very close sound signature to Beyerdynamic 770s reference headphones so excellent clarity.

Cons:

I suppose its a 12 inch thing rather the this particular brand/model, so i dont want to jump the gun on this product but I excepted much better looking at the specs, even at very low -10 db range the bass is nothing compared to my old HK Audio Liner 3 Lr115s, yes the HKs are 15s but the difference is big considering on paper they are close... For Rock and Pop I suppose this would be great but for bass music like DnB, Techno, House, trance, hip hop I think stick to 15s or buy subs. Reason why I say 15s, ON THEIR OWN in a small venue the 15s bass makes you happy and want to dance... I would never use just the 12s on their own even if it were a very small venue, even in my house XD... that means buying "small" means carrying more (tops and subs). I can understand why some guys have 3 sets, for different configs... maybe subs and 12s are just easier to carry when you know you need subs... Also I did find these started to distort easier than expected in the mids with flat EQ and -3db gain from mixer :/ (playing drum n bass). NOTE: I have heard the Alto TS312s and they dont have the same clarity sound, plastic box sound ...

Would like to try the ELX 15 but think im just going to buy the ELX18s subs and add to my banging HK 15s... IF NEEDED. Hope this helps

EDIT: Since I wrote this review I discovered a fault with one of my speakon cables, I suspect it was used when testing this speaker. I have tested again and find this speaker actually very impressive, in comparison to my HKs actually very close, what you would expect for 50W RMS less and 12vs 15... although it weighs just over half of the HK i must say it is a great product. I think I will be selling my Mackie monitors and putting these up on stands next to my mixing desk that's how clear and pure the sound signature is.
