I've never heard the Growlers. I heard their excellent.
I know the ZXa5's are made in USA. The SXa's made be made in Germany or USA.
Their = they're... I hate making that typo.
Thanx for that tidbit. I'm gonna stay an EV fanboy... ZXa5's and QRX's for my arsenal :yosword: along with Danley subs.
ZXA5 vs QSC k12 vs ELX115P
I am a keyboard player, always looking for the best sound from my keyboards (including a synth). I had been using 2 QSC K12's when I gig, but now with the synth, just wasn't getting what I wanted out of these. I read all the reviews, listened to you-tube, etc. The audio house I bought the ZXA5 from told me to just move up to the new EV ELX series and I would be content. Was not convinced due to the price - - - just appeared to be too "cheap" for what I was after. I finally called EV and talked to a tech, who had no sales ties or responsibilities. He told me that the ELX series would be more of a "side" step for me, rather than a "step" function in improved sound. I then bought the ZXA5.
I now hear sounds from my keyboards I did not previously existed! I have a gig this weekend, and that will be the first time my band mates (blues band and classic rock) will hear this speaker. Looking forward to this!
PS> my keyboards are a Nord Stage 88, Roland Juno Stage, and an Alesis Miniak synth. The ZXA5 reproduces all sounds impeccably.

Update to my posting regarding the EV ZXA5
Had my first gig using the EV ZXA5 this weekend - people in crowd never complained I was too loud, even the people sitting next to where I had the speaker! I did the opening chords to Mr. Crowley on piano, using a classical style when our guitar player needed to switch from Strat to Les Paul: most people in the crowd just stopped and listened! Really liked the "looks" I was being given from the crowd during my fill-in. Our bass player told me that was great; he never gives compliments, so I attribute that to the EV. Can't say enough positives about it. We had the crowd in disbelief at the end of Voodoo Child, when I had the synth kick in for the slow "rumble, aka Edgar Winter on Frankenstein." Ok, so now I am a believer. Only had the EV turned up to half, and was easily able to cut through the other instruments’ during my solos. Only negative: sure would have liked to have another handle on the powered speaker.
