EV ELX 118p vs JBL EON 518S subs with this setup?

Hi,

I've just come from a sound check and the sound company had a a pair of EV ELX 12p and a pair of 118p subs.

The whole band went through the rig (drums, bass, 2x guitars, 2x keys, 3x vocals) and the sound was huge for the rigs size!!

I'm currently using a pair of Yamaha DXR15's and JBL EON 518's which I've been quite happy. I've been particularly pleased with the Yamaha's as they are very clear, full range and loud!! I've not been able to get the most out of the DXR15's because they would be too loud for the situations I use them in!!

The JBL EON subs however seemed to lacked real bottom end thump and punch. When I play an acoustic piano patch through my rig the piano always sounds thin yet tonight the piano had masses of bottom end, punch and clarity and that was with the desk flat!!?

I've never been really wowed with my JBL EON subs as they've never really given me a big deep and fat bass sound!

Has anyone else had any experience with both the EV ELX and JBL EON subs?

What are your thoughts on these two subs?

Would the EV ELX 118p subs be a good match with the Yamaha DXR15's or should I consider changing my whole rig?
