I just love these. Unbelievable for the money. Particularly like the light weight. You can carry two at one time - remember I'm talking about 2 x 15" powered speakers. In a small band lifting heavy speakers off of a stand and lugging to the car at the end of a gig can really do you in. I use them in front of a 4 piece band which uses a mixture of acoustic and electric. We get a brilliant full sound. I don't put the bass through them usually, but in the larger venues sometimes run the kick drum through, and they handle it fine. So they are great for small to medium venues and they make brilliant fold backs for the larger venues where you might like to use a larger rig. The only thing I've marked them down slightly on is quality - this is because the protective metal grille is quite light great and has got a bit dented. JBLs or Mackies they are not, but for a once a week band, playing small venues, transporting gear by car, I WOULD REALLY RECOMMEND THESE.
