Feature:
I like the double mike inputs, for both the quarter-inch plug and XLR. I like how long they hold a charge. I mean, they're not that complicated; they're basically powered speakers if you choose to look at them that way. That's why I use a Yamaha pre-amp with them and it works perfectly.
Value:
Absolutely. The price for these speakers is a steal.
Desirability:
I like the idea that I can make amplified music without power. That's amazing to me, makes the whole world a stage.
Sound:
I've used a pair of Taxi 15's for numerous outdoor gigs and have always found it to be reliable and very clear. I use a small mixer so I can get voice effects and more than one instrument input. I've played guitar and piano thru the speakers and they're very clear. I guess if you crank them to the top level they might have issues like just about any speaker, but I haven't had a single problem with these.
Ease of Use:
Everything's pretty intuitive about these Crates. Like I said, they're not that complicated. I use the Yamaha mixer with them and it just plugs in, simple as can be. So I can use them for singing through with two voices, plus have a guitar and piano hooked in, too. I've also used them for Ipod background music, just get an adaptor for the Ipod, or CD player, and run it into the speaker. Loud music anywhere!
Support:
I've never had to deal with them.
Overall:
The only thing that would make me replace the 15's is if I decided to go for the more powerful 50s. I simply don't need that much power for the uses that I have of this amp right now.

Sound:
Its a perfect little machine for street performance with an amazing battery life. This is a replacement since my last taxi droped dead of extreme exhaustion. It was always dependable which prompted my purchase. I checked out the competition and the only thing better was the Crate Limo. If the Taxi offered voice fx's for the mic channel it would be the perfect outdoor port amp.
