Bennett is correct. So 133 dB ish vs 133 dB ish. The 2 growlers are still significantly smaller in size than the JBLs and also take 2000 watts to do what it takes 3200 watts for the JBLs.
Of course without hearing them it's impossible to say which "sounds" better. My point was more to compare similar setups. It's silly to compare something more than twice the size that takes 50% more power to the Growler is all.
If Evan would normally use 2 of his QW218s that seems to me it would be a normal gig for 4 Growlers, and would likely be at least as loud using less power and a smaller size overall. The QWs have very similar stats to the JBLs I used for an example(99 dB sensitivity and 3200 watts program power)
For Mark's peace of mind here are the corresponding specs.

Next time I will be sure to include full documentation for your reading pleasure.

If they come thru south Georgia I would love to tell you what I think of them. I will even do a small shoot out with my 728's.

I would be very interested in the results. I am still waiting to see how 2 Growler compare to (what should be considered equivelent) 1 SRX728.
In other words: 2 Growlers vs 1 SRX728 (4ohm load vs 4ohm load)
If I can get the same output with 1/2 the power, then the Growlers would be a clear winner. If there is a low frequency trade-off, then I would like to see those direct comparison results in db's, or a graph...and decide what is more important.
It's not hard to take db measurements...I typically measure cabs at 30hz, 40hz, 50hz, up to about 100hz. The Growlers should be measured in pairs since this is their most practical use, and would compare cloesest to the SRX728's in this fashion.
If you want to compare a single Growler, then compare it to a single SRX718.

I did a comparison. 2 Growlers , 1 728. Do a search. The Growlers won. Didn't have any graphs. By the way, still haven't blown a Growler. Blew the HELL out of the JBHELLS
I have to keep my day job to pay for this one.
