Feature:
There are not many features on the SXA 250 just kinda bog standard.
A volume knob a basic Eq in's and out's and thats about it.
Quality:
I have had the SXA'a for 3 years now and have had them break down on me 3 times.I earn my living by giging and over the years have owned a number of Pa speakers and for reliability the SXA 250's have been by far the worst. So this last time of breaking down was for me the plump for the Mackie SRM 450's.
Value:
Considering you could almost buy 2 Mackie SRM450's for the price 1 SXA 250 I dont think they are good value
Desirability:
It has NO sex appeal at all - No sexy lights or curvy styling just a Black box
Sound:
I bought two of these EV powered speakers thinking I was buying a Roll's Royce product but found this not to be the case, although it certainly has a Roll's Royce price tag. The sound overall was fairly good apart from very dissapointing lows which is really unusual for a 15" speaker. I have recently tried the Mackie SRM450's and I have found they have far better lows and are a lot louder. I've found that the SXA's really dont like to be driven hard and tend to break up when cranked.Bear in mind I am a solo singer / acoustic guitarist playing to backing tracks in smallish venues so I dont get that loud!! When I emailed EV about this they told me to buy a sub!!!
Ease of Use:
Very Simple to use
Support:
I live in London and I have dealt on a few occasions with the British service dept. They were ok but even when one of the speakers broke down within warranty the company would not loan me a speaker to cover gigs I had booked while the broken speaker was being repaired. So I had to hire a pair of Pa speakers for two weeks!!
Overall:
I think for the price this speaker is vastly overated. Dont get me wrong I may just have been unlucky with the breakdowns and someone else could have them for years without a problem, but I can only soeak as I find and anyway there's still the lack of bass end and the big lack of power.
