JBL PRX635 Update

Update...

Both JBL PRX635 speakers failed me last night. The left-side speaker's sound totally went out twice and the right-side speaker's volume died once. On each occasion, when the sound died, the speaker had to be powered down for about 5-10 minuts to cool off but once powered back on, the sound played again. Of course, my levels on each and every track played where, at most, in the yellow (no clipping
anywhere in the signal path). The speakers input sensitivity level was no higher than 12 o'clock. I had been using them since 6pm and the failure occurred around 11pm when the crowd got larger and the sound levels started to increase.

The sound, especially the bass, is very impressive with these PRX635's but they must go as I've got to have a reliable speaker solution. I'm not sure what I'll replace them with.


JBL... you MUST address these PRX635 hot amp and speaker failure issues.

      I'm going high-end and I'm getting a pair of EV QRX212/75's.  They will be louder and sound better than any powered speaker and will compliment the Danleys well.
