Big Bang for the Buck!
By Solid
I notice there is no real review of these on the Web...so here goes! I like high end Stereo gear and love Music. My gear is a Rotel RB-1090 Mega Amp, (700 wpc in my configuration) ART 31 channel EQ, Cerwin Vega DX-9's upgraded with 1000 watt kevlar CV woofers, and these Pyle 182's are replacing the smaller brother 152's. I have owned the 152's for a year now, after taking a chance on "inexpensive" gear. I took the chance because the specs and price were excellent. I was wary of the 4 bass ports making the speakers "boomy". They are not. I was amazed at the sound....extremely smooth, nice solid bass and the multiple tweeters aren't bright at all... instead....they set up a nice wide crisp soundstage. They paired up nicely with the Vega's (which are stunning) and absolutely performed way beyond their price! The only drawback...they were missing the very low bass. The specs reflect that (30-20 Khz)so I do not blame them. Most people would never notice the very low bass loss. If you have never had it, you don't miss it! I felt if the 182's were as good as the 152's, I would have a perfect match up...QUALITY: The Pyle Pro's are definitely not the best built speakers on the market. They are cheaply built, but they do look sharp. If a person was to do mobile shows, it is definitely a 2 man job. They are huge and heavy. If a decent amount of care is used when moving them, they should hold up pretty well.SPECS: These are rated at 8 Ohms, 20-20khz, 108 db at 1 watt, 700 watts rms. My Fluke Ohm meter shows both the 182's and 152's as 7.4 Ohms at the terminals....close enough. They lack NOTHING in the bass dept! The 182's easily reproduce the lowest notes audible and will "tickle" your guts effortlessly. They are solid as well, I am very pleased. As far as the efficiency, I do not own a decibel meter, but my Vegas are rated at 101 db at 1 watt, both the 182's and 152's are definitely louder than the Vegas at any given level. I would say the rating is accurate. As far as power handling, I have pumped around 300 watts per channel of clean power into both, and they are clean, solid, extremely loud and don't even blink! I would say the specs are accurate enough.SOUND: The 5 x 15 "superhorns" as Pyle calls them, were a real problem on the 182's! They were EXTREMELY bright and with much volume they completely overpowered and colored the sound with a harshness that made me cringe:( I simply could not believe it! The 152's are smooth as silk and just about perfect! After trying to adjust it out with my 31 band EQ, I had to cut the 10 mid freq's dramatically, and effectively killed the sound:( I was so disappointed:( After much thought, I swapped the superhorns from the 152's into the 182's! Well, that worked! The 152's have a smaller driver, and from the magnet to the front of the horn are about an inch shorter. The horn itself is the same size and matches hole for hole. I put the 152's in my gym on another system and they sound good, except when played hard, and the brightness shows itself.SUMMARY: After exchanging the horns, it is pretty hard to beat the sound the 182's are capable of reproducing. The sheer size of these stage speakers create a volume of sound that only size and power can reproduce. I listen to these in my home, in a very large room, for critical listening of all sorts of music. I know they are not designed for that, but they do it extremely well. If I did not have the horns to swap out to tame the brightness, I would have had a big problem. I would have had to consult with Pyle for replacement horns. If these were played at an outdoor venue or a DJ setup, it might not be an issue at all. For me in my home, the 182 horns had to go. There are much higher quality speakers out there, for a LOT more money. I would say for the money paid, and the sonic and visual impact they impart, they are well worth the money. Pyle figured out how to make great sound on a budget. I have to give them that. Gene T.
