That’s when you get that annoying, piercing, screeching high that I hate. Metal sucks for tweeters

What RCF’s did you have? As for subs, I have yet to hear better than Bassboss. The DV12 is an excellent speaker but its downfall is the weight and ergonomics. If handling on your own they aren’t fun. However, the sound quality is excellent. I have heard from other users that MK3 isn’t much better than MK2 if at all but I haven’t tested that with my own ears. I recently had a chance to compare the Meyer Ultra x40 to the DV12 and the Meyer box is the only one I have found that literally destroyed it. However it’s nearly double the price. For the money, and they are expensive, Bassboss is a great choice.

@@FinestEventss​​⁠​​⁠I have the Jmix8 and j8 for mains and the 18” 708 ASII for the sub. Honestly they sound pretty good but no comparison to the BB DV12’s MK 3’s. The RCF sub is ok but does not project like the BB. I don’t find the DV12 to be awkward to carry and most of the time I transport them on a small cart. As far as putting them on the stands, I just lay them on their side on the cart, then stick the stand in the bottom of them and lift them up. I tried to lift them up onto the stands when the stands were upright, but they are too heavy to try to manipulate that way. I know some people say they don’t like the way the DV12’s look but I think they are awesome looking. When I was in Sweetwater, I tested out RCF’s upper line and still thought they could not compare to the clarity of the bassboss 12’s. They definitely could not cover the low end like the bosses can and the bosses sounded much flatter and accurate to me.

@@bsbarber73 if they weren't awkward you wouldn't have to lay them down and put all that pressure on your sub pole to lift them up. I know another guy that does that but I don't trust putting that pressure on 4 tiny screws. You should be able to easily lift them up but its hard because of the design and weight. I also have VS21's and when they are in the upright position you have to get on a ladder to get them on the poles (Unless you're super tall). I almost killed myself a few times when I was stuck on my own because there were no where to grab and I was in an odd position on a ladder. Not doubting its sound at all. I like the sound of the DV12 too and have made a suggestion to Bassboss to make a lighter version that is designed to be used with subs with better ergonomics. Meyer X20 is 27lbs and just as loud if not louder than the DV12. Clarity is better too. It is also a wooden cabinet . This is how I know David can do it because its been done.

@@FinestEventssI don’t typically put them on the sub. Usually the sub is center stage. If and when I get another sub I will probably do that and actually might be easier to lift if standing on the sub. My tripods are beefy and hydraulic so really it is one motion and they go up quick. The ones you mentioned I’m sure are great but no way I can afford double the cost per speaker. Don’t make enough off of gigs to justify spending any more than I did. Maybe later down the line but just bought these and pretty happy for now.

@@bsbarber73I totally get it. Do what works for you. I misunderstood how you were doing it. They are great speakers, I used them for years and still would be if they were lighter.

They definitely pound. They go pretty deep tho. At times I wish I had got the 18’s instead. I do mostly weddings, so the punch is preferable for me but if you do EDM or like dubstep these subs shine.

@@FinestEventss thanks for the response. What do you prefer about the 18's in terms of sound quality that the VS 21 is missing?

@@jack3400 they don’t have the punch the 18’s do. The 18’s hit tighter imo too.

@@FinestEventss okay, thanks. Am looking to purchase a sub.. Is the 18's you heard (which tigher than vs21) the ssp118, or a different brand?

@@jack3400I have heard and used the SSP118’s. Overall those are probably the best ones to get if you need great overall low end. The SSP218 if you need more. I also have BB15’s and they are awesome for the size.

A video splitter.

Thank you 🙏

Thanks for watching.

I do not have the specs. The DV12 in this video was the MK1. I think the power actually went up slightly on MK3. I thought it was 3000 RMS on the powersoft amplified models.

@@FinestEventssyes that’s what they advertised a year ago 3000 RMS but now they took that down and selling as 3000 total power, which would make it only 1500 RMS. Why would anyone pay over 3K for 1500 RMS?!

@@ekatp7148 interesting..... I'll have to look into that. The prices have went through the roof. Hard to justify at this point.

@@FinestEventssfor sure!!! It’s hard for me to justify my purchase of the pair of MKII last year if the RMS is only 1500 not 3000 like they advertised it to be. Pissed really!!! 🤬

It does have wheels and is easy to move. The wheels are covered when in use with custom built covers to match the lines of the booth. Its for sale now if you know anyone looking for a sweet booth!

They were very close overall. The RCF sounded louder to my ears but it is much more harsh at high volume. I think that perception of louder to my ear was the HF boost that RCF seems to have even when playing flat. The Bassboss is much easier on the ear even at high spl. They are both great speakers. If you want overall loudness, the RCF wins. If you want a better sound, the Bassboss was the winner. These are just my own opinions from being able to compare. For the difference in cost, I agree it is hard to justify.

@@FinestEventss i think you’re absolutely right on the rcf sounding louder maybe and even harsher but it’s probably due to the fact that it doesn’t need to be soo loud to project those mid to high frequencies. It only makes sense. But it was probably meant to shine with an external woofer instead of a stand alone which is my thought, when using a full range system the rfc will sound better and fill in the gaps much cleaner than the bass boss. Thanks for this man. I’ve always wondered how these compared.

Thank you 🙏

Unfortunately, didnt make it

​@@FinestEventss Which one would say has better sound quality (separation, clarity, accuracy and tonal richness?) I am looking to buy new tops, and would greatly appreciate your input

@@jack3400 I personally prefer the sound of the DV12 and is what I kept and currently still own (MK2). Since this review Bassboss has come out with MK2 and now MK3 versions. They have improved every version. I have been told but haven't heard the MK3 is even better. They are two completely different sounds. IMO the DV12 at high volume remains smooth and not harsh. It seems to my ears that the TT has a louder high end but at the sacrifice of sound quality. They hurt my ears at high volume and tend to have a boost in high frequencies as shown by my testing. I would give the Bassboss DV12 MK2 or MK3 a good look. I have heard good about the HDM45a too, but it has a similar syle horn to the TT and I have never heard them to confirm. Good luck in your search as sound is so subjective.

@@FinestEventss thanks for reply.

I never heard one of those but have heard great things. That would be a good comparison.

Yes, they do.

@@FinestEventss They have very high db preasure, strong neo motor & very long excursion, leading to strong bass.

@@laniroli3714 yes, they do, great speakers

Sorry about that but reality is you have no idea how they compare through your computer.

I dont know about that, but RCF makes some good speakers. The TT is a great speaker but so is the Bassboss. Just a matter of how you like ur sound flava

Thank you brotha!

Even more reason to go Bassboss. I own both RCF and Bassboss and right out of the box, I prefer the sound of Bassboss.

Quick question what are the requirements to get into the Artistic world

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

No external mic was used. Just the internal mic of the camera

They are both great speakers, I don't think you would be disappointed with either. I think you should decide on which type of dispersion you prefer? The RCF is narrow and the Bassboss is 120 degrees. They both get loud and are clean. I personally use the DV12 MK2 now and I cannot say how many you can put on a breaker. They are very efficient and pulled less power than my Evox 8's when I measured them on my amp meter. They also can be crossed over at 4 preset points. The more low end you take out the more you can run (This is when you run with subs). Hope that helps.

Not true. David Lee has told me personally 6-7’ max to the bottom of the box. They are around 6.5 to the bottom in the video.

Thank you. I always know the lay of the land prior to arrival. We can do a few steps or small stage with a portable ramp but anything higher that (3-4 steps) we do not offer it to the client at the time of booking. Hope that helps

@@FinestEventss it does! Thank you. What other booth do you use in the harder to access areas?

@@StreamlineEntertainment I don’t use a booth. I setup on top of a table in those instances.

Thank you !

Thank you and good luck with your build! A lot goes into it for sure!

Thank you 🙏

Not sure. The turntables are Rane 12 MK2’s. I would think you could have them shipped to you but not certain.

I got lazy... sorry. If there is anything I can answer let me know

Haha thank you 🙏. Appreciate you checking out the booth!

Thank you Jerry !

Bassboss is hard to beat. The recent price hike isn't cool tho... Thanks for checking out the review.

Both around $7k for a pair.

I ended up getting BB MK12’s and a pair of SSP118’s. I downsized from Danley TTH118’s. I’m set!

@@gaffle-411 How do the sound quality (clarity, accuracy, speed and tonal richness) of the ssp118 compare to your previous Danley gear?

@@jack3400 I find it hard to tell with accuracy considering I last played on my Danleys in 2016. Plus, I only use playback music. I will say the BB subs I have outclass any single 18 I’ve ever heard from your typical PA box store (Yamaha, QSC, EV, Yorkville, JBL, Turbosound, etc.)

Thanks Jerry!

I think you accidentally commented on the wrong wedding! Lisa and Joe were at Oglebay! Drop a comment on that one ! Thank you!

They are not for sale. It was a custom build I did for my company.

I got lazy and didn't make it. If there is anything additional I can answer, let me know?

Thank you. Those are the regular Evox 8's. Wooden Cabinets.

@@FinestEventss Okay thanks. I’m debating if I should get the Evox 8 or 12s. Also looking at the Maui 44 G2.

@@officialdjperfect the Maui destroys them all according to my sources but big and heavy. Evox 12 is a good system too that may be easier to manage

Thank you very much sir 🙏

Thank you!!

I pulled those specs from their site at the time of this review. Not sure why the discrepancy now but when I just rechecked, you are correct. A little over 57. Easier to manage because of the handle placement. Ergonomically speaking they are much better than the Bassboss, even the MK2 version of the DV 12.

@@FinestEventss would you say it’s worth it to invest the the TT25Amk2 or go 945A or NX45A?

@@gaffle-411 unfortunately I don’t have any experience with those other boxes and couldn’t give an informed opinion.
