To be honest, I would suspect anything in this general range is not going
to sound "killer."

The question becomes what you're using it for... I find the flabby bass on
the SF-15 to be really annoying, but a lot of people find that to be an
advantage. I haven't heard the Yamaha.

But the speaker I'd pick for a long and narrow room is different than the
speaker I'd pick for a short and wide room. The speaker I'd pick for just
vocals is different than the speaker I'd pick for full-range music. If I
needed high stage levels, I'd pick a speaker much more narrow dispersion
than what I'd pick if I needed natural sound for a small acoustic group.

I'm equally annoyed by George's impatience, but in this case I'd have to
agree with him. The Sound Factor series is just Yorkville/Behringer caliber
gear with an added JBL tax. Each model has its problems, but it's not worth
auditioning all of them to see which suits a room best, just pick up
whatever's cheapest and most accessible and spend some of your savings on a
good EQ, you're going to need it!

I had to laugh when a local venue replaced their Crown CE-4000 and Yorkville
Elite 1000's (older 8 Ohm ones) with a Crest CPX-1500 and JBL SF-25's to
meet a strict tech rider...
