7 out of 10
Feature:
Has good features easily reached even when flown
Quality:
Speaker came new in flawless condition.
Value:
It is a good value, considering the sound quality and the fact that you eliminate an amp.
Sound:
This speaker has great overall tone. I use it primarily for keys and vocals
Ease of Use:
average
Support:
I had warranty issue with one. They paid postage back to them, which was nice, but they do not send you back your speaker. They just send you one that has been "refurbished". The speaker I sent back came out of the box and put onto a pole in the lounge, where it stayed, and still looked like new. The one I got back had obviously spent a great deal of time bouncing around in the back of a van. I was not thrilled. Customer service promised to look into it and get back to me. That was 4 months ago. For me, this is a huge issue.
Overall:
I would probably replace it with another should I ever have to. It is a good speaker, I just get frustrated with unresponsive customer service and getting screwed on warranty repairs.

5 out of 10
Feature:
would be a lot more useful if it had a mic/line input. Also a two band EQ would be a lot better. (like the EV SXA)
Quality:
I have owned six of these, and two have failed and had to be sent back to factory. With a long wait to get them back.
Value:
They would be worth the price if it wasn't the long service wait.
Desirability:
looks good
Sound:
Great overall sound. Does have a slight tendency to feedback if anywhere near a microphone.
Ease of Use:
Even though the speaker appears to be able to use it as a floor monitor on it's side, this is not the case. A bad design flaw is that they put the "heat sinks" on the back Vertical, so that when laid on side the speaker overheats and shuts down for about 5-7 minutes. This has happened to me many times. A little fan down next to it is the only solution.
Support:
Some of the worst customer support. They did respond to my emails, but their repair record is dismal. It took months to get my speaker fixed, and 6 months to get a mackie dfx-6 mixer fixed. The reason is that they only have 7 repair facilities, and they are backlogged for months.
Overall:
Love the sound and SPL, don't like the service, can live with the price.
