10": Sound quality is good. Nice flat response, not extra bright. I can add the shimmer at the console if I need it. The foot print is unbelievably small. I’m replacing the cabinets in the photo and the one to the left is an 8” Gemini RS-408 and the one on the right is a 10” Gemini RS-410. The 10” TX310 is nearly the size of the 8” Gemini! Just slightly taller. Aesthetically, it’s definitely an upgrade. Dispute the small size, the low end is pretty good. You’ll need a sub if you want to use these for a party, but they’ll work great as delays or generally to reinforce sound.
I would NOT recommend these for beginners. There isn’t much in the way of protection (there’s an analogue limiter) and they will be very easy to blow. The mic pre level has a nasty ramp up right at the top of the knob and even if you slowly ramp up to it, it jumps suddenly and will probably catch you off guard. If you need to put a passive DI inline to take out a ground loop or something, be aware of this nasty hump and don’t let anyone else touch the volume knob. Also, there’s no EQ or mixing on the speaker itself. The Gemini has a mic in, line in with bal and unbal, an amplified mix out and a two band EQ, and it cost $150 at the time of purchase. Inflation is a MFer.
These are perfect for adding sound distribution points in a larger system with plenty of control and processing from the console, or for rooms too big for a bookshelf system. If you’re a DJ looking to get these or the bigger cabinets, make sure you put a compressor with limiter inline so they don’t blow when someone decides to yell into a microphone.
15": It gets just loud enough to the point where if you're standing in front of it, you'll consider turning it down. This is fine for me because I want the music to be enjoyable, not pain inducing. However, the big issue is that the bass rolls off at about 70Hz. This is fine for kick drums, and stuff like deep house will sound fine on it but if you're playing bass music (trap, other forms of EDM) you're going to be embarrassed. I was playing Beastie Boys' Brass Monkey at a party and there was LITERALLY nothing where the 808 bass drum was hitting. I believe it's hitting concert A1 which is 55Hz. Definitely take a sub if you're going to try to rock a party with these.
I actually heard the Harbinger VARI V2315 15" last week and was pretty impressed by the bass. I need to go to guitar center to see exactly how low the bass goes, their website claims to have response down to 40Hz. For a frame of reference, the QSC K12.2 starts rolling off at 55Hz, and is down -10dB at 45Hz, so if you can still hear 40Hz on the Harbinger, it's giving the QSCs a run for it's money at almost a quarter of the price. I always thought their specs are BS because they're a no-name brand and the numbers seem too good to be true, but I'm going to bite the bullet and get a pair of the 12" version if I'm proven wrong. The Harbinger 12" is the same price as the 15" Alto.
