I had to go for V-DOSC, because it's my favourite of the systems I've heard.

I have not yet had a chance to hear MILO, but MICA really didn't impress me. Maybe it was the venue (single concert).

d&b really interests me. I haven't heard any of it yet. I can't wait.

How come no X-line, XLC, M3D, 730760? We've left out tons of great options!

Should Get Out More

Alcons LR16's with LR14's for small underfill or infill. They are very sweet sounding speakers with extreamly clean undistorted tops due to the Pro-ribbon driver used.

Holy Crapazoids i remember when this used to look like that....wow that sucked, but it brings back fond memories

PS i voted for other, as i own the XLc - easiest rigging, easiest transport, least expensive i could find that would kick any serious ass.

It still loaded a whole lot faster on somewhat slow internet though. This new thing takes a while.

I voted V-Dosc because the others have been trying to sound better than it for years, and I personally don't think any of them have succeeded yet.

I voted other.

Reason, I like all of them and would use them all for different things.

System I predominantly use is EV XLCdvx. X-line is superb, very decent punch. I love D&Bs stuff but have never heard the J series so I can't comment.

I do not know anyone who would turn down D&B, Meyer, or L'Acoustics. In the UK I do know plenty of people who would turn down Geo T but that could be to do with the operator.

EV X-line is almost as acceptable as is Vertec.

If it was my money I would probably go with D&B - bear in mind I am in Europe. Meyer may be a better choice in the US.

GeoT has come a long way with the NXtream Load. In the USA it is just difficult to find.

Geo T though I as well still think V-Dosc is the standard and I love Milo but for me was to heavy and i didn't have that kind of work so i went mith MICA...If you can mix Mica is wonderful, though Geo T is the finesse box with Output

The only useful part of this thread is to see who's marketing department has the most effect. If you can't make any of those boxes sound fantastic when properly deployed then you need to find a different line of work.

Randy, you change line arrays like I change my socks!

I already voted for my favorite line array....by purchasing it. Nexo Geo D. Though I have not worked with every single system out there, it's the best I have worked with.....to my ears. Now that I'm up to 36 D10 boxes plus 16 CD18s, I should be able to compete with the stuff that has slightly more output by simply using bigger arrays (when possible).

It's a great combination of sound quality, size/weight, versatility, and price. And BTW, Yamaha's support has been terrific!

If I had it to do all over again.....I would.

Hey Bro, i really haven't changed in a while but would if i could ..this is my crack..

I still have Geo T and I have Mica and Melodie...I would like to get into Geo S/12..I'd also like to get some Milo...
Things are looking up for us, i've had to sell down so that i could re-structure and make the move to S/Florida..So far we are doing well, what i am so thankful for is the reception that south florida has showed us..some are taken back but most are receptive and our x-renting biz is better than ever..we are getting shows so maybe we have turned the corner..I like being a Nexo/Meyer House as well as having 5DRH's and Venue for our Digital stable...what i need is some stacks and racks for Gulfport for a club we do there..we used to use Alpha and i have sold that so i am looking for something that is just better sounding than 850's and hopefully something i can trade/cash for..so how happy are you with the danley stuff NOW..Can't get them to contact me about a purchase but maybe i'm not there kind????anyway hope your doing well and I think about you and your family often, you really have had a tough couple of years, it makes my situation seem small..take care R

WOW! Thanks for not sending a picture of that!

I think actual crack would be a cheaper habit, but I sure know what you mean.

It's funny, I actually just bought an Alpha demo rig from Yamaha. I think it will be useful on quite a few of my outdoor shows.
I like the Danley stuff too....BTW, if I remember right Ivan invited you to call them. Wassup with you guys?

I guess we had better stop hijcking this thread with our commercials now.

Take care and thanks for the good wishes. I'm taking each day as it comes and trying to move on. The kids are doing OK, but there are still some tough moments for all of us, of course. Good luck to you friend!
