Hi there,
Looking for a value for money 15” active speakers. I know that rcf offer a goog quality and sound but there is a big price difference compared to mackie thump 15. Whar are your opinions guys? Any other suggestion?

Don't do Mackie Thumps. Go for the RCF. No question or debate here.

Can't really go wrong with anything from EV, qsc, Yamaha, jbl, or RCF.

The only thing I would avoid are the jbl entry level stuff (jrx, eon).

Rcf 715 goes over 1200-1300 euro for a pair so at this moment is not an option. Looking something cheaper so i might look at rcf315. I know that you get what you pay for but i am looking for alternatives value for money below 1000

315s are still better than thumps

I dunno.
You are probably thinking of the old Thumps.
The new models which came out last year are pretty strong. Voiced by EAW engineers they also have a new power section.
I guess it all depends on what your ears are tuned to but I have been pretty impressed for the money.
Add to that the Bluetooth models have better range and usability than any other with said feature.
I am an RCF fan (RCF was owned or at least contracted solely by Mackie at one point) but I feel the new full grille front Thumps are Mackie’s best speaker since the SRM650s debuted.
