i dont get what your doing? selling? asking if its a good deal? promoting?

We just started the website productiongear.com.au. Thought the HK Audio system might be a good item for the sales category of ausdjforums as it works quite nice for DJ events.

ive demoed them, the highs are really piercing, very tinny and no full midrange. not a good buy considering they are 2.5k

I guess it depends on which model, HK generally are quite good, sure they are not the highend pro brands but they do very well in the mid range that they are priced at.

This particular speaker system is quite small with small drivers, so it is naturally going to lack a bit of mid range but im surprised they would be tinny if running with the subs.

Obviously it also depends on the operator and the mix and how hard you are driving them but these speakers are pretty decent for smaller scale applications.

The large HK boxes are much better and i would say good value for the price range.

Obviously your high end brands like Nexo, Adamson, EAW, D&B are going to be the ones delivering the best sound, but thats at a huge cost.

just because you are running a sub doesnt mean you can't have tinny cabs. ive heard larger HK setups as well and I wasnt impressed at all. sure, if you wanna split some ears at a party this setup will suffice, but if you have the cash so you can also double up as monitors etc., i wouldnt go near HK. RCF and FBT deliver better bang for buck then HK, and they are similar priced/cheaper.

not to mention rediculously light with the new plastic cabs + digi amps

I guess it comes down to a matter of opinion.

I have heard HK products sound great. But RCF and FBT are also good options too, although I too have also heard these brand sound tinny and ear piercing.

Im sure that most people have heard good and bad sounds from all brands, it comes down to how they are being used and the experience of the operator.

Obviously the best bet for anyone wanting to buy any sound system is to listen to the different options with the type of music they will be using them for. It would be event better to hear different brands side by side but thats not always an option.
