Both of those with 8” cones, without a subwoofer, won’t give you as much low end. 
Maybe that’s OK if you are in a small hall, and they are positioned well, meaning high enough and tilted down (both have that capability built-in).

I haven’t use the JBL‘s, but the QSC’s are excellent speakers. I’ve only used the 8 inch for monitors, but the 12 inch for both monitors and mains, with and without a subwoofer. 

If you can afford the extra $400, I’d suggest going with a 12 inch. 

Regardless, without doing any research on the JBL‘s, I can tell you, I would happily buy more QSC’s.

Hi, All,

Princeton Country Dancers in Princeton, NJ, has done extensive
research re new speakers for our contra and English dances.

We've narrowed it down to 2 choices:
JBL PRX 908 and QSC k8.2

If any of you have used either one of these, would you please let me
know whether you'd recommend them and what you like (or dislike) about themz/

Thanks so much.

Larry Koplik
