speakers. Those were pretty tough monitors. But I still wouldn't
recommend it.

Basically, the things that make good monitors and the things that make
good PA are very different.

The Ureis are sort of in-between... they aren't really all that good at
either but you could do either with them.



Geez, seems like I'm disagreeing with Scott all the time now ...

813's will play loud as hell. When I first looked at and heard a pair,
I called them PA speakers. But I wouldn't use them as such, they are a
control room speaker. But they will play plenty loud for his
rehearsals, which was what he was asking.

I have 813c's in my control room that work very, very well. Of course
the reason why they do is control room was built and rebuilt three
times by its previous owner and was specifically designed for them.

If you're ever in the area Scott you're invited for a listen.
