I ordered a pair of these for performing in smaller venues where I sing and play lead guitar with custom backing tracks.
I was immediately taken by how solid they feel and how good they looked on the stands. The first time I tried them out at a gig was at a new venue and I could see the bar staff looking at them and probably wondering where the rest of the speakers were going to go. Since it was a newly opened bar they had been trying out a variety of acts and had been overwhelmed by the nameless idiots who turned up with subs and 15" tops blasting out at ridiculous volume to a bar that could only hold 50 people at best..
I am now a regular in the bar.. These little speakers are perfectly capable of filling out the room with plenty of bottom end and nice clear highs and mid frequencies.
I have also used them at a beach gig with a pair of 12" Achat subs and had no problem playing to 300 people.
Would recommend buying the protective bags for these as I have done. In my experience with this type of finish, they can quite easily be damaged with only a minor impact. Would have liked to have seen a thru connector on the back instead of a single speakon but hey, look at the price..
