which is best among these B3 models U15A, TS360A, and the sigma 215A

[bats828]

hi guys, i just want to know your opinion on these B3 powered speakers. alin dito yung mas maganda? or if you could rate these models from 1-3. thanks again

[senti]

Sigma 215A ang OK talaga, kahit pang banda.  2" kasi compression diver na gamit niya kaya kahit sigawan di ka kakabahan.  kahoy pa ang enclosure and may fly points.  maganda din lalo ang porma.

thanks senti sa suggestion. actually when i saw the sigma speaker, nagustuhan ko na. it's just that mas mahal sya sa TS360A ng mga 8-9k. i'm not sure kung maghihintay ako ng mga few months para makapag ipon ako and eventually ma afford ko na bilhin or kung bibilhin ko na yung TS360A since yun lang ang afford kung bilhin as of the moment .the other small problem na nakikita ko is kung mapaparent ko ng medyo mas mataas na konti yung sigma sa TS360A? kasi dito sa amin ang rent usually ng basic two powered speakers is P3,500-P4,000. if i will get the sigma which is 8k-9k more than the TS360A, it will cost me about 16k more for buying pair of pwered speakers. tapos parang ang magiging rent lang is the same with the other model of B3, which is mas mura. do you think it's worth it pa rin to settle with the sigma model/ hope you can help me again.

mas durable ang sigma kasi kahoy ang kaha nya kaya may kamahalan. Yung "U" & "TS" series ay plastic o fiber yata ang kaha.

B3 TS360A (1" compression Driver/ 15" woofer) = P19,800
B3 U15A (1" compression Driver/ 15" woofer) = 20,800
B3 Sigma 215A (2" compression Driver/ 15" woofer) = 28,800

consider your expansion plans.  if you think that eventually you will need to buy another pair of speakers, go for the TS-360A so that if you eventually serve a bigger area, you can easily array them.   The U15A has a wave-guide horn and may cause lobing (phase cancellation) if arrayed.

on a different note, you can justify (in your mind) the 8K difference by:
  1) the difference of the 1" to the 2" compression driver is P4,000
  2) the cost of the Plastic enclosure vs. the wooden enclosure with the flying hardware accessories is about P4,000 as well.


Hope this helps in your decision.

Mario, are all these powered?  I need a new set of small set up system for my band.  I need to have a little bit more powerful system than what I have at the moment.

Thanks and regards,

thanks forerunnermusic. actually i bought my very first pair of EVO powered speakers HP15A sa The Music Source 2 years ago sa may edsa. as in wala pa akong kaalam alam sa pro audio. i have a party needs business and my wife's family has a catering business. that's why i thought of buying powered speakers para dina po kami nagrerent sa iba. i just saw the evo speaker na nakadisplay sa labas ng store ng music source. richard, the store manager then, made me choose between the evo and b3 (the U15A). since sabi ko mas gusto ko yung maganda yung tunog ng base, mas sinuggest niyo yung EVO.  mas nagustuhan ko yung tunog ng EVO. and now i didn't expect na mahihiligan ko yung pag ooperate ng sound system. that's why i'm planning to add another pair but this time i'm planning on purchasing a pair of B3 powered speakers. medyo nalilito lang po ako talaga kasi i really like the sigma series kaya lang mas mahal po sya sa TS360A. when it comes to the TS360A, marami akong nakikitang nagpaparent ng sound system sa amin and they all have the TS360A. sensya na po kung medyo makulit ako. i just want to buy the right speakers which are affordable and yung maganda ang tunog. so far B3 halos lahat yung sinusuggest ng mga ibang nagpaparent sa  amin sa angeles city. thanks po uli sa inyong time for your opinions and suggestions
