something exciting from the italian amplifier/speaker manufacture markaudio.  they're the same group of people who makes the remarkable markbass amps.  not sure if they're new or not, but this is definetly the speaker i'm looking into.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as 602 frontpretty must just like how they evolve in the bass amplification market, again they made these powered speakers in very light weight and compact size.

 - built in 500w power amp / 2 x 6" neodymium speaker / 1 x 1" driver

- freq response: 45 hz - 20 khz with virtual sub

 - dimension(w/h/d): 22.5/50.9/41.8(cm)  8.86"/20.04"/16.46

 - weight: 12.5kg / 27.56lbs   it's smaller and lighterthan my traveler 102p bass cab

checkout their site for the full spec: http://www.markaudio.it 

and their bass amp company: http://www.markbass.it 

 

 

compare with other speakers with similar specs:

  

both these markie srm-450 v2 / jbl eon15g2 are decent sounding portable pa speakers that i'm more familiar with.  the spec of the as602 is very competitive to these 2 while the size and weight is 30% - 40% lighter and smaller.  the size really matters once you start using these gears on a frequent basis, that's why i sold my 100+ lbs ampeg bassrig for my markbass rig with no regret at all.  can't wait to hear these speakers out.
