I just acquired a pair of JBL Eon 10 G2 powered speakers.  I'm planning

reading the owner's manual it ocurred to me they'd be great for use with 
a POD or other similar emulator.  You've got a great sounding speaker 
with versatile inputs and a bunch of power.  It's easily placed on a 
tripod stand so you could get it at ear level and it's pretty resistant 
to feeding back because of the horn configuration.  Very light and small 
and being a JBL roduct it'd last forever.  Anyone ever try one of these 
with an emulator?  The only downside being price, they're not cheap.  fjm
Yo Fjm, 

I use a Crate APM-75 or a Yorkville Bloc powered monitor and I must say with 
the POD they both sound fabulous. My suggestion is go for it! Those JBL's you 
have are great speakers (pricey as hell though) and if you have some good POD 
settings dialed in I am sure they will sound phenomenal through them. My 
suggestion is to use them as powered monitors and just run the POD through the PA. 
The POD has dual outputs and sounds great in tandem through the PA and a 
powered monitor. I love my POD and I use it exclusively (I would never go back to 
an amp), I love this method because you can set two levels (one for onstage and 
the other for outfront) and never be at a loss concerning stage volume or 
outfront volume. Also your sound holds up better coming out through the PA than 
coming from the stage. I must warn you though; the POD takes a little bit of 
time dialing in, but once you get it it's worth it's weight in gold. 

How much did those JBL's run you?
