I am certain you will get a more detailed (and up-to-date)opinion. The EV speakers we used at the GCC Franklin Mills when we built it back in 1997 were excellent.

The IMAX conversion I worked at had EV VairaplexII XL speakers installed on all 5 chanels. The speakers sound great but are a lacking above 104db in the surround channels(since they are not XL's). Otherwise the speakers sound great and I'v never herd any distortion in star trek transformers or harry potter. However I have herd that EV has problems with cone rot. Personably I think there are better speakers out there...

No experience with their stage speakers but we have EV surrounds that have been in use for about 18 years. The only issue we have had with them is a couple of the tweeters had wires come loose. Reconnect > fixed.
