Hello;

I am looking into purchasing new P.A. speakers and I am looking for advice. I would like speakers with 12” woofers to be used for vocals and BIAB background tracks.

Currently, I have an older pair of Yorkville Pulse PL12’s. 150w. They have served my needs but are in need of repair. I like the fact that they are not too heavy.

Any ideas on what might be a good unpowered replacement? Typically, I’m filling a space not bigger than 50’ x 50’.

Secondary Question:

The PL12’s sound fine (IMHO) for vocals and e.g. acoustic guitar but seem thin when playing recorded music. Even when paired with a sub, the PL12’s sound a bit hollow for pre-recorded music.

I’ve experimented with some newer speakers and the newer speakers seem to have much more midrange. They sound “fuller” when playing recorded music but don’t seem to have as much definition for vocals.

I am wondering if newer speakers are tailored more towards the midrange or if older speakers lose their midrange over time.

Thanks in advance for your ideas.
