amazing little full range speaker, used for live bands as mains monitors side feed or disco, have plenty of bass which can be controlled and tweaked by knobs on back, have a warm yet powerful sound and plenty of volume, best keep level at around 12 o'clock to accept max level from mixing desk without peaking, roll the bass off a little when using as monitor as can be a little lively with respect to feedback, very robust and very tuff !! fearing the end after tumbling down a wooden staircase , suffering a couple of scuffs but no cracks or dents worked perfectly and has continued to do so, I have given a five star rating as for sheer performance for value cant be beaten, there may be crisper, cheaper, lighter models available but I can hold one and tuck the other under the same arm to open a door !! if you are the one carrying the P.A you will understand .they happily handle vocals and a few instruments as main speakers but do fluster a little with a bass guitar especially if you want to crank it .... get a sub its just common sense really . the grill is strong enough and has sustained a few dents in their travels and the rear knobs seem vulnerable but have never been broken just load with care and respect, they have been used as side fill as part of a 6K system and happily hold their own spot, they may not give the sound quality of a £600+ speaker but for a small band or useful utility speaker , that is both reliable and easy to handle they are hard to beat for the price
