QSC k.2 series--advice needed

Hi folks, QSC sent me an email about their new lines of k.2 series. It is attached below. Has anyone tried them out yet? Any opinions? Here is what I am looking for: I have spinal stenosis, so most of my gigs I either have someone else running sound, or I bring my lighter weight speakers My k-10s weight 32 pounds each, but since the new K.2 8s are 2,000 watts and 27 pounds each, I am thinking of selling my old K 10s and buying the new K.2 - 8s The gigs I need these for are noisy crowds of 150 - 300 people, and big open outdoor gigs. We usually need them 8 to 10 times a year, especially this time of year when we are doing summer camp counselor orientation dances and whole camp dances for campers. I have received a variety of responses from the contra sound forum, and it seems that the K.2 8s do not have the quality of the original QSC k series, and they might produce a muddy sound. It was recommended that I consider the EV ZX A1, which apparently is a wonderful speaker with superb sound, but probably not powerful enough to handle my biggest gigs. So, to sum up, do you think I can get basically the same good quality sound with the new “8s” as I presently get with the old K 10s? Any other suggestions for something that weighs less than 30 pounds and great quality?
