If I could afford it, I would buy all McCauley speakers - some of the best made IMO.
Ive heard about them from dj's and read about them on pro sound web forums. In particular the AC 58 for a sub.
What power range have you heard Lon? I would love to hear a system in the range AES 1kw-3kw. They are one brand I havnt heard or read a bad review yet...
I couldn't tell you exact models, but one of the clubs I ran sound for bands at had a McCauley system for a house PA. 2 dual 15" subs per side with 2 dual 12"/horns per side. The subs alone were being fed by 4 QSC PLX3002 (bridged per dual cab - 3000 watts per cab) & the tops were bi-amped with 2 QSC PLX2402 for the mids & 2 QSC PLX1602 for the highs. I'm telling you what, i've worked with some pretty killer systems in comparable size involving JBL/Crown and other major combos & none of those even came close to the sound that I heard that night.
But again, that's why they cost so much! This is another brand you see in major touring applications. Damn manufacturing plant & corporate headquarters is about 3 miles from my house too - think i'm going to go on a tour this week
