Any luck with Carvin PA Loudspeakers or Monitors?

Passive?

I have been comparing the Carvin PM12 to the Peavey PR12 and the Peavey has a wider frequency range, but there are negative reviews concerning Peavey's crossovers and/or tweaters being underpowered.

Help!

I have the Active version of the PM series
mine are the 15s and the 12s

not passive
but other than that sound great
dont blat out

use the twelves as personal monitors for the bass player at one gig
he was VERY happy

I would recommend them even though I have no experience with the passive version

I have a set of LM15A Carvins. These are biamped power speakers with neo-mag drivers. Love them. Used with electronic drums, solo acoustic guitar and stage monitors. I've used a pair of them with my Peavey FX16 mixer for FOH mains, with and without my LS1801A subs. Zero problems and zero complaints. (Knock on wood!) Very happy with them, especially the small size and light weight. With the subs, it's been a very flexible system, and I've used them in several venues, even outdoors. This is my "medium" system; I plan on selling my "big" system...the Carvins have all the power and coverage I need. I will add that the system is quite smooth and sounded superb with my iPod into the MEDIA INPUT of the FX16.
