Well 2lbs each and they sounded great and Joe tours constantly with them. I carry very delicate things with me all the time and just take special care with them. Things like a head set mike with extremely thin wires. I just treat them like egg shells. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a road rugged speaker that is that light. I have what many would consider on paper crap for a speaker. I set it on the floor (another no no) and power it with a radio shack 35 watt PA which has lasted 25 years and is also considered crap, but I can't tell you how many times I have been at mid range venues like schools and small theaters where they have spent lots of money on systems that sound retched and been complimented on the sound quality of my system. I did spend $400 on a great AKG and shure dual diversity wireless. At big theaters where they do know the difference and tell me so, I play through their expensive system. I am often disappointed with how loud they insist on setting levels, and then they miss cues or neglect to power up my channel as I start the show. I do carry a little mixer so I now can hit my cues, but am disappointed with it because of little buzzes and hums that cause 20 minutes of fiddling with, with a sound person 50% of the time. I hope to find a light weight mixer thats better than what I have. I have 10" now and its heavy. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a road rugged speakers that are that light? I mean in the 2 lb range each not 25 lbs. I have that already. _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
