As I'm searching (since a while now) for a light weigh very portable solution, at 17 lbs, they look to be interesting. But tonewise I will have to give them a try, but in the meantime someone know them, tried them with KPA?
I would like to hear about the JBL EON 510, someone tried them?

I didn't try them, but they are really ugly....
-
LOL! I agree, but they are sooo light!
-
That's true, they are really a fly-weight, but I've never heard a good guitar-cab made of plastic....
-
DXR are made of ABS which is a form of plastic very resistant and not sensible to temperature change but apart from tese advantage I doubt that, tonewise, it gives a very different result than the plastic used for the EON510 or the new (very light too) Yamaha DBR10.Anyway I'll try the three as soon as I have the chance to see them together in a music store.

Yes, would be interesting how they'll sound.

Just a heads up. A friend of mine has 3 of the eon 15s that have had some reliability issues. They will randomly just shut down and not start up again. My guess is that they are overheating. It has happened to 2 of the 3 he owns. They sound ok, but not great. It's pretty low end stuff.

Just in general: I believe for an FRFR cab, when it's designed properly, the material of the cab itself is of very low relevance.
It's not that they are supposed to resonate with the tone like a traditional guitar cab, is it?
Maybe Jay Mitchell reads this and responds.
