I have used Electro voice for the past 15 years. This includes the SXA360 and SXA100+ series speakers and now the ZXA1 Subs. They have sounded great and never let me down. If you use EV let's hear from ya! What series are you using, why did you choose them over other brands and what has your experience been? Thanks in advance.
 
I Use EV Tweeters and EV Midranges powered independently in a three way configuration, no bass or Subs.
 
2 SXA 100+ here had them for 8 yrs and going strong. Still look and sound awesome. I will be gaining a pair of the Live X 12's and 18's soon enough. I also run as my main system the Ferrari of the BOSCH family. Dynacord VL262 tops with The Power sub 315 and its passive brother.
 
26 EV 18's here, all EVM or EVX series. Love them (especially the x's....little extra oomph in those!) They just keep thumping....in our rig failures are always age based....sagging cone leading to voice coil rubbing, glue separation, etc. [by the way, that takes 10+ years] Picked them (a long, long time ago) for the frequency response & power rating that best met our needs. Stuck with them because they are rock solid. Snappier than many, deeper than many, just like 'em. Many of our woofers are old enough to vote and proud of it!
 
I have an EV APD4 antenna distributor on my wireless rig .. talk about skin in the game.
 
I have heard the 360's a few times.... not impressed.... but I do like EV speakers in general. If I ever need another pair I will most likely buy EVs.
 
Owned several pair over the years. Still have the ELX 115p's and the Eliminator II's.
 
I have EV eliminator subs...I know I know I know...they are budget subs. BUT

What I did with them to get an INCREDIBLY different sound is replace the drivers. They original drivers are 2" voice coils. I blew them repeatedly. Turns out they aren't all that great of a sub so people burned em for firewood.

I found a replacement driver for them and now I'm looking for more cabs...Low response still isn't great and it never will be but the 60hz - 100 hz range feels great to me.

Peavey Low Rider 18's. DO IT.

They fit perfect in that small form factor box!
