Yes, another amp comparison thread!
So after my previous thread I determined that the systems I were looking at would simply not give me the volume I needed, so I started looking at other options - specifically powered speakers. I've been researching quite a lot on these, searching through threads here on vdrums.com plus elsewhere on the interwebs, and have come down to two possible options:
DB Technologies Opera 405D
Mackie Thump TH-15A
Again, neither of these amps specifically are mentioned in the once and for all thread, so throwing them out here. Does anyone have experience with either of these and which one would you recommend?
Note that I'm not planning on running a subwoofer with either of these - they both have 15 inch woofers which I'm hoping should provide enough bottom end to not require a sub as well. I'll just be picking up one speaker, I have no need to run a stereo setup.
These two systems seem to be very similar, I've read good and bad things about both of them. A number of threads discuss the older DB 405's but not the 405D specifically so I'm unsure exactly what the difference is with the 405D.
What I'll be using it for, is for rehearsals, and a foldback monitor when on stage.
Which of these is the better monitor for edrums? The two of them seem extremely similar (even down to both of them very annoyingly only having XLR inputs so I'll need an adaptor), but the Mackie is about 100 bucks cheaper here in Australia.
Also, while I'm on the subject, what are the major differences between the Mackie Thump TH-15A and the Mackie SRM450v2? As far as I can tell the 450v2 shares very similar specs to the TH-15A yet has a smaller woofer and is more expensive for some reason.
