Hi all I've got some dB Technologies questions. I was looking at the site earlier, and noticed that e.g. The Stage Opera 415 speakers have disappeared. Have they been discontinued?

Further on, I was thinking about the Mackie SR1530 speakers. On the Hart Dynamics website, they are said to be the best speakers. I've been reading already quite a lot on this forum about speakers, and thought I might conclude that you need a 15' woofer anyway, prefered a lot over a 12' (one of the first things I learned ), and that a 3-way system is to be prefered over a 2-way system, e.g.

SRM450 or dB Technologies Opera Live 405 with subwoofer, rather than without subwoofer. Just 2 satelite speakers and one/two subs. What I am wondering though. Do you guys use these setups for monitoring for the whole band, monitoring for yourself, or do you use these systems as FOH?

Now, back to the SR1530's. Can they be used as floor wedges, like e.g. The SRM 450's?

While I was thinking about these SR1530, I was looking on the dB Technologies website and found the Stage Opera 82.15-speakers. Has anyone any idea how they perform, compared to the other mentionned speakers?

Can they be used as floor wedges? Can they be used for monitoring, or are they (and the SR1530 's) FOH-speakers? What is prefered, satelites and subs, or do speakers like SR1530 and Stage Opera 82.15 handle the job as well? After all, these are 3-way systems as well. Thanks and sorry for the many questions. Since I have dbs and mackies I will chime in. First, the 1530s do not act as a wedge.

They are 5' tall for goodness sake. I use them FOH with the SWA18s. I use SR1521s for side fills, those still cannot be used as a wedge, but they sound great for a single 15.

I have done small gigs using the 1521s and SWA18s for FOH. The Opera 415s (which I have) are very good but have more doo-dads than people need. I wish I had gotten the 405s. I use the 415s as drum monitors, both for me and for other bands I've mixed. These are compact and great for live. With something like the db 405 or SR1521 you don't need subs for monitors. If your monitors are the only source of you sound, you may want a smaller setup with satellites and subs.

Thanks Michael. Did you ever try to use the 1530's as monitors? I don't think that they are that much difference with TDA-700's (heightwise I mean), and I think those are supposed to be monitors as well. I have been looking on the internet at the dB Technologies 82.15's, since I am curious not only for 3-way systems like in 2 satelites and a sub, but also in just 2 3-way speakers. The 82.15's are more like the Mackie sA1532's I think, since they have 2 15' speakers, so they might be overkill.

I just want a system I can use as a monitoring system for me, and if needed as small PA-system. And I don't really have much opportunities to try different things out, we don't have Musiciansfriend-like stores around here. Thanks for any reaction. I haven't heard the 82.15s, but they look impressive and have a higher output than the SR1530s. The SA1532s have the kind of wattage I would use FOH. I have used 4 SR1530s as a backwall for large concerts.
