Has anyone purchased these yet?

I actually just started a thread on this over at TGP. I did not get a ton of reviews but if you search YouTube, you can see some awesome comparisons to the originals. Sounds like the K.2's are not only louder than the originals but they have more clarity and bass. I have two K12's that can be harsh when driven, these new versions seem to correct that.

I upgraded my two K10's but there is double the hiss when using them in my bedroom. Maybe that's because they are more powerful...?

Maybe they are faulty.

Since QSC doubled the wattage (a +3db increase), if they did not redesign their preamps, the signal to noise ratios would be increased due to the increased headroom. This is a normal trait that would be cancelled out by the ambient noise in a venue.

I am confused, if you already own the K.2 speakers, why start a thread on them? I thought you were looking for opinions. Would be helpful if you provided a review.

I don't notice a huge difference but I have not used them at a loud gig yet. The new features are nice - EQ, tilt hole, Hi Z etc.
I did notice the hiss when using them at home but not when at the gig and if it means they are better at louder volumes then I will be happy. The entire thing is redesigned apparently, all new. |

My guess is adding the digital features and downsizing the chassis to make an 8" wedge pushed the outstanding noise floor of the originals down the list of design trade-offs. * you would need a 240 volt AC connection to really deliver 2KW for any even a few 10s of seconds.

I'd also take the 2000 watt rating with a grain of salt just like the 1000 watt rating on the originals. With powered speakers you have to go by the SPL and QSC has changed the rating a bit. 1dB should not be audibly noticeable. In general you never need as much power to the HF drivers as the LF. It seems like with the original series they just used a stereo 500 watt per side module and with the new series they have either a custom module or two different ones. I've never really heard my K10's clip but they have overloaded a few times with a singer that doesn't have any mic dynamics. |

I'm not running anything in. I just have them powered up with everything at zero and the DSP set to 'default'. I realize they are not supposed to be used this way but it is disappointing that they have twice as much background hiss as the original. I'm trying to decide if I should keep them or send them back and stick with the originals.

Not really, you're judging the actual loudness of a speaker by a YouTube video?
