I decided to put these two large boxes against each other because they essentially have the same dimensions. they definitely took two very different roads to get there though. The Lasonic is all street, with its glittering chrome, X-shaped LED, colorful labels, and unpainted black finish. The Prosonic is pure class with its stainless steel fascia, center mounted VU meters, and prologic tape controls.
Since these two radios were built for the streets I will be judging them in the way I use my boxes when carrying them on the streets. The three categories are Tuner, Cassette, and Overall sound and volume.
TUNER: The Lasonic has a very flashy tuner needle with a very neat function. It is illuminated yellow for non-stereo and red when the stations are in stereo. Problem is the tuner is so poor it was difficult to pick up even strong stations in stereo. The prosonic on the other hand has a red tuning light and a green stereo light that always seem to be lit because it picked up stations effortlessly. The Prosonic takes this category easily.
CASSETTE: The Lasonic comes with a very unique double cassette design. The lower cassette is mounted in the classic design. The upper cassette slides into a slot similar to a car cassette player. The lower cassette is used for playback and recording and has a tape counter. The upper cassette is for playback only and has no tape counter. Both cassette decks have very good sound but the lower one sounds a little cleaner to my ears. The Prosonic has a very nice, single, prologic deck with a home stereo quality to it. If I were only using these radios indoors the nod would go to the Prosonic, but since I am judging them on there street cred I have to give the nod to the Lasonic and its double cassette design.
OVERALL SOUND AND VOLUME: The Lasonic strength is its booming bass. The way those woofers dance is a thing of beauty. It has a 5 band eq that allows you to tailor the sound to your liking. Although i do like the overall sound of the Lasonic it could use just a tad more highs. If you push the two treble sliders all the way up though it will do the trick. One thing I must say is this Lasonic is loud as hell!! It would have no problem devouring most big boxes in a battle. The Prosonic's strength is in its balance. It has wonderful overall sound, great detailed highs, and solid bass. It also has a "Wide" setting which gives it very nice sound separation. When playing these two side by side there is one huge advantage the Lasonic has...it absolutely blows the Prosonic away with its power. I turned both radios up to there max pre-distortion level and there is simply no contest. The Prosonic does have a cleaner overall sound but the bass cannot keep up with the Lasonic and neither can its volume. The Lasonic actually sounds better when it very loud (at pre-distortion level). So if I was looking at one of these two radios to take with me in the streets the Lasonic is the hands down winner.
Here is a pic with an M70 so you can see how big these two monsters are!!

thank you for the comparison.
What else would you compare the Prosonic too to give us an idea of sound?
