Has anybody used the B212XLs with the EP4000 and how many speakers have you used without having any power issues? I'm planning for 4 speakers. Thanks!

I'm not certain about the answer to your question however I strongly recommend against buying theses speakers they sound terrible and max out real quick

I have two of these B212xl and I've used it in a full band (Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Vocals and Bass drum plugged in) setup with no power issues. I didn't use it with the EP4000 tho. I used a Behringer PMX2000 powered mixer rated 250w @ 4ohms Stereo mode/ 500w @ 8ohms Bridged. I've also daisy chained it with a Kustom 12 8ohms speaker each side to bring the load to 4ohms to get the full 250w power (It's pretty loud for 250 watts). These speakers have decent bass for a band setup but not for DJ music in my opinion. Hope this helps.

They are very good speakers and are my primary for watching movies. However the XLS 215,s are UNBELIEVABLE. Cost a lot more and require a massive amp. Will absolutely blow you away.I've had Polk audio, and sony's. Fried them all. The 215's are BIG HEAVY and really rock. Can't endorse them enough. I wasted money on the other ones. Then, when I run all four, watch out!!They come truck freight, save your money, buy them, and get a good amp. I use a QSC GX 5. You WILL be happy.

Ditto everyone elses response. No issues with how many speaker pairs are on

I want to know the same thing. Everyone makes it seem like a pair saying: I bought "these" speakers but it doesn't say. I'm thinking of going with the 300 watt which clearly depicts it.

I wish that I could help you out. I'm using the speaker's from the home theater system that I already had hooked up. There are 100watt wall and ceiling shelve size speaker's. I do believe that the speaker's you do use, will have to be speaker's for surround,(FL>Center>FR>RL>RR&gt;) for 5.1 system. The rear speaker's are also known as(SL>SR). If you use just any kind of speaker's, like for stereo. Then you wont get the separation, any true affect of surround sound. I wish that I could help you out more, and hope that this will help you some what. Nick I wish that I could help you out.

Boss is very great! I have one so do my brothers and none of us have ever had any problems with them. And they can handle a good amount of watts. I have two 2100 max subs and they sound great. And boss is pretty cheap.

That is a hard question for me because when I got the speakers they handled the 2400 power but they sound bad.so put more power to them and blew them to bits. I ended up replacing them( with the same box of corse) with jbl sub woffers just wasn't what I was lookin for

Bought myself the Crown x4000 amplifier. Here it is for $300, I believe it's on sale right now? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/crown-x4000-stereo-2x1350w-power-ampWorks fine, haven't had a problem and it pushes these speakers perfectly!

Hey, I am buying speakers for a friend who has the same turntable - did you ever find a good solution / speakers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using the Energy ESW-8HG 8" 200 watt Take Classic subwoofer - just because I like to pair things if I can, sounds very good overall.Enjoy

I have the KEFs and the ML Electromotion ESLs. Both are very good but I think the KEF is probably the better speaker overall. That said, if you have the right room either will be good. I seriously considered sending the KEFs back right up until the last second. Since keeping them I've worked more on placement and coupling to the stands and that's squeezed extra performance from the KEFs which makes me glad I have them. The logan's will be happiest if the room is larger and you can get them well away from the walls, I'm able to give them about 5 feet behind them and I don't feel like that's quite enough. I had an older pair of Aerius i in a larger room where I was able to give them 7-8 feet and the presentation always blew me away. With my smaller room now I haven't been able to extract the same magic from the newer ESLs even though I feel the new ESLs are tonally well beyond the quality of the older Aerius. The KEFs will make use of all the space you can give them too, but their different approach doesn't require it as much and with their limited bass extension they'll be happier in a smaller room.

Justin -Nice, very powerful speakers to began with (700 Watts). For PA, something like an XR 8300 wound be a good choice (2 x 300 Watts).That would give you 300W to the mains and 300W to the monitors.If you want to elaborate, please give me a call.Thanks,Hugh800-806-7774318-614-0422 Cell

I am not a big expert on amps or speakers. I can tell you that I use four Sony Bookshelf speakers which work just fine. See Sony SS-B1000 5-1/4-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

I always use 12AWG. I just bought 100' from Ebay that I really like because it is red and black. Get yourself some nice banana plugs too and you'll be hooked up sweet. I got those on Ebay too because the price was much better than anywhere else I looked. The items were all located in the US so shipping was fast. Happy listening! FYI, If you are going to bi-amp your speakers with the TX-NR616 you'll only get a 5.1 surround.

It's just 4 Chanel's you'd have to get a 2nd amp to power a sub or give up 2 speakers. I wouldn't recommend a 2nd amp since the 200 watts is just perfect for the 4 midrange speakers. these sound great by the way.

The best amp wattage would be right around 3200 cause they peek at 1600 each speaker. I made the mistake of only getting a 1800 watt kenwood which is a good amp just not enough power. No matter what they will bump though

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.
