QSC K10- Best In Class
I have been using QSC K10s for close to a couple of years now. I am a solo performer, playing a variety of styles from acoustic singer-songwriter stuff to loop-driven electro-rock. I typically play bars and have probably used these for nearly 100 gigs at this point. 3 K10s along with an mixer make up my whole system, using two as mains and one as a monitor. My previous system was a powered Mackie box and passive 12" speakers by Community and Yamaha. I have thus far been thrilled with the significant sound improvement I have experienced. The volume and clarity that these 10" speakers produce is truly impressive. To give you an idea, I generally play rooms that are one to two thousand square feet in size and rarely...

Lots of Power
I like this speaker. I bought a pair of K10s because I wanted a stereo image for my piano and the clarity and presence are phenomenal. Un-muddied left hand bass and crisp high notes. I'm hearing subtleties in my keyboard that I haven't heard before. I'm using them on stands behind me in my Irish band to mic an accordion and tin whistle and they both sound great with these speakers running through an 8 channel Yamaha mixer. At 32lbs, they're easy to carry around, especially with the totes, and light to get up on stands. These speakers go really loud, so it's nice that I can set the speaker fader only half way and still get good volume. Really helps prevent feedback from the condenser mics.

Product Description
The New Standard in Active Loudspeakers. The QSC K10 is a 10-inch, 2-way active loudspeaker system featuring an all-new 1000 Watt QSC Class D power module outputting a remarkable 129 dB (peak). The K10 wide, DMT(TM) (Directivity Matched Transition) 90-degree dispersion pattern (vertical or horizontal) provides for even coverage of its 56 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response across the entire sound field, eliminating unnatural "dead" or "hot" zones in the audience area. Extensive DSP featuring Intrinsic Correction(TM) and DEEP(TM) provide for levels of total sonic performance that defy the system's size and weight while GuardRail(TM) protection, first introduced on our GX Series amplifiers protect both the amplifier module and your performance from unnatural and destructive clipping. Combo XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs accept both Mic and Line Level input while a set of RCA phono inputs allow additional connectivity to portable MP3 players, CD players and line-level mixers. Up to three audio sources can be mixed internally and summed to a balanced output for "daisy-chaining" of multiple units. Separate direct outputs are also provided on each channel for additional output flexibility. On-board switches provide preset EQ settings. The HF setting can be set to VOCAL BOOST for additional presence in the critical mid frequency area or FLAT for accurate reproduction of the incoming signal. The LF switch can be set to NORM, DEEP(TM) for additional bass extension or EXT SUB for use with an external subwoofer. The rear panel LED switch can be set to POWER, illuminating the front-mounted LED when the unit is powered on, OFF for applications where it is not desirable to illuminate the front LED, or LIMIT which indicates to the system operator that the clip limiter circuit has been engaged during operation. The entire system is housed in a rugged ABS enclosure with a professional appearance that is at home in any application. ABS is a far more ro... Top to learn more
K10 vs Mackie SRM450v2 vs Klipsch bookshelf
I initially purchased the Mackie SRM450v2 because I am a fan of Mackie's mixer boards. I conducted listening tests and decided it was lackluster. So I went down to a music store and listened to the QSC K8 and K12. I ordered the K10.I performed repeat listening tests between the K10 and the Mackie SRM450v2 and a pair of 2 way Klipsch 8" bookshelf speakers (my favorite). I also did pink noise spectral analysis using a Behringer ECM8000 calibration microphone connected to a Behringer Ultracurve digital EQ box.My ears were correct. The SRM 450 is just a good speaker, not great. It has an annoying hyper resonance around 80 hZ, the crossover transition is less than ideal (confirmed by my real time spectral analyzer), and the deep bass is loose and sometimes slightly distorted. At the end of the day the sound from the speaker is simply not very "musical." The mid-frequencies lacked detail which is something on my "must have" list. The SRM 450 was VERY loud...
