There are also matching passives without dsp.

What's different in the connections?
1.5 lbs difference between the active and passive - yikes.
1000 watt peak - it's the same drivers for both - active / passive.

To me, peak means virtually nothing. Even the cheap Carvin PM153s that I use are rated at 400 watts continuous and 1600 watts peak. I'd think that a fair portion of my gigs are smacking a regular 250+ and would consequently burn these dudes out pretty fast.
Nice looking unit.....especially at that price point. Alot of companies are putting out some nice gear. We'll have to wait for someone to give a review.

They are plastic enclosures from what I read.Sure hope the paint is better!
These are very nice speakers based on specs but, fall short in SPL and power handling in my opinion the ZX line is a far better choice if you want powered cabs.
Just found some dealer pricing of $320 for the powered 12" and $394 for the powered 15". No word on availability, but if they sound good, it might make a nice backup set. I found out it uses the same HF driver as the ELX powered boxes with a different LF driver.
For comparison at the same dealer, the ELXs were $445 and $517, so $120 cheaper per box. Joker is correct that the ZLX run about 6db off in SPL (126 vs 132), but reality says we're not pushing that level at most locations, so it still may be great for small/ceremony gigs. I'd guess a bit better than similar priced Behringers/Altos/etc.

I believe this is the New Entry Level Model, below the Live X. They were supposed to name it the Play X. There will be yet another Model coming out the Middle of the year called the Tour X Pro, unless that too gets renamed.
