2stepsteve 0 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hi all, Last year I borrowed a pair of Peavey hisys 2 RX speakers http://www.smugmug.com/photos/295185170_iUbGw-L-0.jpg I was blown away by how loud they were and by how clear they were at high volume. These seem to be quite hard to track down though, I take it they are no longer in production? Are there other models that sound on par or better to the Hisys 2 RX in the same price bracket?

spinner 0 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I believe they were superseded by the UL series. However a new RX series is on the way. You should find details on the Peavey website. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr P 0 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 They repplaced them with the Impulse series - but the Impulse are not a match for them, filled with little Japanese components i am led to believe. THey now have the new speakers that are loaded with the 15inch Scorpion Driver and they are imported direct from the USA and they are absolutely awesome - check out the Peavey website or pop along to you're nearest Peavey dealer - trust me the Scorpions sound beautiful.

2stepsteve 0 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 thanks for that i'll check them out I've been told that Messenger UL15 are perhaps using the same driver and components but in a different case? Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds more likely. The Impulse series are not directly comparable since they're made of ABS whereas the others are wood based ( might be MDF, chipboard or plywood I'm not sure ) and carpet covered.

DJ James Lake 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I have the UL15 Peaveys they are very powerful indeed. 500w RMS per cabinet and believe me they take every bit of it and then some. Remember peavey were/are used by bands and need to handle lots of power. Link to post Share on other sites
