I unfortunately did not get to try them out at a gig with subs, but from what I heard from these stand alone, I can't imagine them not sounding terrific with subs. I had used the EF-12Ps with my pair of DXS12s with great results.
I remember testing the older 350 watt E10Ps and simply not enjoying their "harsher" sound - although their output was very good. The EF10Ps are definitely smoother than those but hav emore presence in their mids compared to Yamaha DXRs for example. With my DXR15s for example, I feel they sound better with a small boost from 1k - 2k - it makes them a little less mid scooped. With the EF-10Ps, the mids won't need any boosting at all and should sound terrific as is, especially for live sound. For CD music playback, I really enjoyed them too, although they are not as ear pleasing in a small space because of their beefier mids. The same goes for my KX Audio KX12s.
I actually liked the stronger mid presence in the EF-10Ps as it often simply seems lacking in most of today's smiley face EQ'd speakers. I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest, as I didn't love the Parasource PS10P. It's interesting, I preffered the PS12P over the PS10P, but prefer the EF-10P over the EF-12P... The good thing is that unlike the older E10P, you can easily EQ the EF-10P to taste. With the E10P, if you took out some mids, you lost a lot of what the cabinet's output quite simply. I may certainly rent the EF-10Ps at a future date when I have a bigger booking requiring subs. I will be sure to report back!
