EV Everse 8

I bought this for piano sounds as an upgrade from a keyboard amp. The quality of the sound is indisputably much better and clearer. It is also very light and thus handy for small gigs. The battery and Bluetooth connectivity have been surprisingly useful for a quick wireless setup and playing background music before starting. It means I can get the venue to turn off their (usually awful) muzak.

However… at only 8 inches it struggles with bass so my organ and even my piano sound thin when compared with an EV 12 inch speaker. In smaller venues people have complimented the sound but in larger venues they say they can’t hear it. The Thomann adviser described it as fine for 50 people, I would disagree, I think it’s a monitor or an amp for a very small gig. It’s also £200 more than an EV 12 inch.

Overall since buying the 12 inch speaker I am leaving this at home and I am afraid I think it is a bit overpriced for a small speaker. I wouldn’t buy it again but I’m keeping it because it is convenient as a high quality small monitor and background music machine.
