I don't think you're going to find a great deal of difference between the Stagepas 1K and the Evolve 30M.
They are very similar animals.
Perhaps like picking one zebra over another because you like zebra x's stripe pattern.

Where I found a great difference was when I compared these line arrays to a powered speaker like the QSC 10.2 or 12.2 - both high quality rigs.

It seemed the bottom end was a bit cleaner, the mid range had great definition and the highs sounded good.

In short a line array PA costing at least 1.5 that of a powered speaker sounded better. Go figure.

I think you have found two winners. Examine the feature sets of each system and make your decision based on how well those match your needs. They both sound great. Either way I think you'll be happy.

Pull the trigger
