Our little bar system utilizes a pair of old grey JBL eons… at least 20 years old. We now have an 18” sub, so I plan to go with powered 12’s. Floor monitors are powered 10’s.
Looking hard at QSC K12.2’s, but also considering RCF’s and EV’s. I doubt I’m playing out in seven years, so the QSC 6 year warranty has a lot of appeal. Any thoughts, insights, or guidance?

I have a pair of K10-2's. Haven't used them a lot, and mostly as monitors, but I think they are well done. Can't speak to the others, but how the sub integrates is pretty important. LikeI have a pair of original Mackie srm450's and one sub designed for that system. Have used that a lot including outdoors a bunch of times and that works really well. Those things are easily over 20 years old now and never had a problem. Those go stereo out to the sub, the sub has a crossover in it, then out of the sub to the mains. That sub is 12", but it still works very well outside. Smaller speakers generally are faster which is something good for subs. Not sure any of the helps, but I think my qsc's are good. They also sound surprisingly good just plugging a 58 into it and using whatever preset is designed for that.

Used the QSC K10s for years. Small to medium clubs, even outdoor gigs. Had one RCF 702 12" sub. Lightweight gear and sounded great!

I don’t think you can go wrong with the QSC speakers. Good luck with your search.

I bought QSC K10’s over 10 years ago. Used three for small to medium clubs and a number of outdoor gigs with our band. Two for foh and one for monitor. Now I use two for our duo. One for foh, one just for my acoustic. At the time the 10’s had a wider dispersion than 12’s. I don’t know if that’s still the case. They are rock solid reliable and sound great. Can’t go wrong with QSC IMO.

We're partial to Yamaha powered speakers. They've never let us down.

I'll throw in another vote for QSCs. I'm a fan.
One caveat. I wanted a wedge monitor. I can't remember if I was looking at the QSC 8's or 10's, but the sides aren't designed to sit on the floor like a normal wedge. I ended up with an EV 8".
