currently own two (2) powered JBL speakers (EON15P-1) and looking to change to Behringer EUROLIVE B115D (1000watts)... anyone has experience with this speakers ? is it work the change or better hang-on my current JBL speakers ? I was looking at the specs and the JBL has only 140watts and the Eurolive has 1000wats and I'm afraid the JBL's will blow-up on my..
I'm running
Denon DN-MC6000
Behringer Eurorack RX1202FX
Behringer Europower EPX2000
dbx Pro dbx215J
JBL EON15P-1

You need to go by the efficiency/sensitivity figures and max SPL figures rather than how many watts it can handle.
A 100W speaker could be louder than a 200W speaker if it's more efficient (dB/w = amount of dB output per watt of input).
If 2 speakers are 100W, but one is 96dB/w & the other is 99dB/w, then the 99dB/w one will be louder - for exactly the same power input.
Going by brand alone, I wouldn't exchange JBL for Behringer! If your current JBLs are not loud enough, look higher up the JBL range.
I just looked at some specs. The JBLs have a max SPL stated, but the Behringers don't.
I also noted that the Behringers claim to be 1000W.......and yet the max power consumption is only 110W. Does not compute!

Have you heard the behringer B815neo ? http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/B815NEO.aspx/
I have tested b815neo with electrovoice elx115p and the b815neo is more powerfull and it costs almost half than elx115p. Also the b815neo has deeper bass.

Only thing that I didn't like about b815 neo is the look...they are ugly :)

Behringer has always been/will be hit or miss in my opinion. I have owned many of their products and some have been better than others. I used a pair of their earlier model powered speakers (I can't recall which model) in a live sound application with wireless mics and I was not too impressed with the quality of the sound. I found that like most of Behringer's products that they had a very high noise floor (system hiss). Generally, my complaints about their products almost always stem from this issue. I don't however hate all their products: I was very impressed with the DEQ 2496, however since it lacks a crossover, I had to upgrade to a DriveRack PA+.
Another thought to consider: It is always important to never judge an amplifier or in this case powered speaker by it's peak power rating. All manufacturers of audio equipment do this with the intent to out do the competition, but the number doesn't really give a good indication of what the amplifier is capable of. Usually the peak power rating is derived from measuring the maximum power output at the amplifier terminals with a 1kHz (usually) sine wave only, not with music or voice signals. This produces a relatively unrealistic number, as nobody is using the equipment to push pure sine wave signals, but rather the complex wave forms of music, etc. The number I always pay attention to, and is almost always printed on the box next to the peak rating, is the RMS rating or average power. The RMS rating is usually about half (give or take) of the peak rating and will give you a better idea of what the amplifier or powered speaker is capable of.
Based solely on what I have read, heard, and hands-on experience, I would stick with the EON 15P-1s. I have used these speakers many times and have never had an issue or complaint with them. If you were still looking to upgrade, I would look at the QSC K series powered speakers. Recently, I installed 4 K12s into a school gymnasium and they were more than enough to rock that large space.
