I am looking for some comparisons or reviews on these two different tri-amped full range speakers (JBL PRX735 vs EV ETX35P or any others someone has experience with).
The JBL doesn 't have the setup capability, e. g. internal crossover...
The EV ETX is very flexible with the DSP display in the back - and yes it 'll remember the settings if power is suddenly disconnected..
But for me, the EV has too much tweeter noise, though I can 't comment on the JBL.
Actually, they are bi -amped . not tri amped - with passive crossover.

Thank you for responding!! I am new to the speaker/audio world and am still in the process of learning the jargon and how it relates to what I am looking for.
Basically I am looking for a full range speaker (preferably tri amped) for my keyboards/occasional vocals. So, (in order to make sure I understand this correctly) you are saying, in the case of the JBL, it is split actively at the 480hz crossover and passively at 2khz? If so, is there a full range speaker that is truly tri amped (or has two active crossovers separating high/mid mid/low)??
I understand how the JBL is not as flexible because it does not have the DSP display in the back. I am going to guitar center this weekend to try them both out for myself, but in your opinion for my intended purpose which do you suppose would be more practical or would achieve the flattest eq (based on the specs)?
The basic main differences I am considering are portability: JBL 77lbs EV 92lbs, crossover frequencies: JBL 480, 2khz EV 700, 2.9khz (could these higher crossover frequencies account for the excessive tweeter noise?), power rating JBL 1500W EV 2000W, and the EV's DSP display.

Dave how loud do you need this speaker to go? Will it be used on stage with a band or is this just a practice amp? And lastly why have you focused in on these two 3-way boxes? It's not that I think either is a bad speaker.. they are both quite good just wondering about your thought process here in selecting 2 large/heavy boxes that will have to get hoisted up on a stand or riser somehow for vocal use when there are other options that may work better and be much easier to manage.
from the jbl datasheet see the website you can see the jbl has only 2 amps and passive crossover to the tweeter. this is not a bad thing. also ev etx35 uses this topology ,i think, but since the import guy did not answer my questions , i am not 100% sure bout that.
there is atrue 3 way also: mackie hd1531. but again: less flexible than ev etx dsp series.
the tweeter noise is a thing of how good the signal chain and adc dac dsp electronics is. saving some $ there gives higher noise but more profit.

my new speakers needed thread a few lines below would maybe also interesting readware for you although i have decided against active speakers by now -too noisy for me.
conanski: It is mostly for my keyboard rig, but might be occasionally used for vocals. I will be playing in bands and practicing both in various sized venues. I am choosing between these two mainly because they are full range sound in one cabinet and less expensive than a quality sub and bi amped top speaker. Do you have any suggestions around the same quality and price range? Thanks for asking!
ViennaTom: Thanks for the suggestion I will look into the mackie as well.
simon7000: I appreciate your input!

That was going to be my suggestion... a small 8-12" two-way cab and separate sub. Options would include the EV ZXa1 top and sub, the Yamaha DXR10/DXS12 or DXR12/DXS15 combos, or the PRX 710 over 715.
