"Do you realy need much more ?"

Feature:
basic by todays standard...

Quality:
They still work after a year.

Value:
Why pay huge money when you don't need to. Most manufacturers have building boxes down to an art. Granted the tech stuff isn't in these. But I don't need 1000wRMS, waterproof, directional horns, digital ready, delayed, or whatever. Wood cabs sound warmer than the lighter plastic. You get my point. New tech becomes old tech and old tech sounds the same as it did when it was new...but guess what...it devalues due to new tech, not quality. Still good gear, just not as fancy. Besides all that, your average Joe doesn't know the difference in sound. Only the music heads do.

Sound:
Any cab you buy will have it's own characteristics. By the cab best fitted to the room you play. 250 is more than enought for example, a 200 person sanctuary. This cab sounds clear and does punch the bass. No it is not a sub woofer. The highs can be stingy... eq them down. Not tough to do. Not a nasaly sound to these cabs. thats tops in my book. I hate too much mis.

Ease of Use:
Ive not had any problems adjusting for any room Ive played...

Overall:
Good for what I need.

"Great cabs for the money, but look out for the treble, these HF drivers are potent and can rip your ears apart!"

Feature:
Speakon and 1/4" inputs, nice placement of handles.

Quality:
Cabinets are quite solid and the grills are beefy, they would definately protect the drivers if it was on the floor and somebody kicked it - might dent it, but the drivers would be undamaged. The carpet on my pair is fine, not coming undone and looks great. One of the screws on the stand mounts was stripped a little bit and I guess worked itself loose over the course of a month - dab of some glue and screwing it back in, haven't had a problem with it since. Probably got over-torqued at the factory. HF drivers seem like they could be better.

Value:
For 100-200$ less than Peavey SP5's and SP2's, I's a great value.

Desirability:
They looks alright, Flat black with a small orange, JBL logo square at the bottom. Peel that sticker off -if you prefer- and it'd disappear in a good setup. The flat black look makes it slightly menacing.

Sound:
For the money, these are some fairly decent cabinets. I like the sound they make, and they don't require a ton of juice, Quality of output is solid. The deep bass is quite lacking, but that is to be expected and you need a sub to reproduce the sound correctly with these cabinets. The HF driver, however, can make your ears bleed, This is not to say they are bad, they aren't, but they do add a very potent high frequency distortion that normal bookshelf speakers wont. I've been having to cut 3khz and up with a 3-9 db shelf with a paragraphic Eq when using these boxes at full power. Listen to a pair of those crappy MTX boxes that are sold at circuit city/bestbuy that 'LOOK' like pro gear, and hear how awful their horn sounds - imagine that, but MUCH MUCH MUCH less and NOT as bad, however it is noticeable - The HF driver in these is WORLDS better than those crap boxes. It seems like the HF drivers are a little too powerful to be matched with the mid/low drivers. So, use some treble reduction to save your audience's ears, especially in smaller rooms where people are near the cabs. They won't notice the reduction, and even if they do notice, after 5 minutes - their minds will have adjusted to the sound.

Ease of Use:
Know how to use an Eq, and these will be great.... It's a passive cab, doesn't get much easier

Support:
I haven't had a problem yet

Overall:
I'm quite happy with my pair right now. Now that I've heard the Peavy SP2 and SP5 boxes, I do want a pair of those, but they are almost twice as expensive. The JBL's do a great job for a starting DJ on a budget, I personally feel you can't do much better for the money. I've previewed lots of different brands at a few music stores, I even listened to JBL's MRX515 cabinet that's twice as expensive, and it didn't sound much better for the money. I am happy with my choice, at the time it was the best selection, I felt, for the money, but now that I've heard Peavey SP2's and SP5's - I definitely want a pair of those. Had I waited a few months and known they were going to be released, I would have gotten them. Much clearer, HF doesn't hurt your ears so much, etc.

Professional JBL loudspeaker!
You can tune up your instruments, add effects, and balance the mix to perfection, but your live sound is still only as good as your PA speakers. If they can't deliver, neither can you. You work hard on your music and you want your audience to hear all of it. JBL's JRX15 provides uncompromising sonic performance so you can be sure the crowd gets the full experience, just the way you intended.

Superior quality control
JBL has been creating pro-quality audio gear for more than 60 years, and the long tradition of excellence is obvious in JRX-series loudspeakers. The woofer and the tweeter are manufactured by JBL engineers in their Northridge, California facility. Close attention to quality control means your speakers will perform true to form so you always sound your best.

Drivers and electronics
For big bass and midrange power, JBL uses a 1x15-inch woofer. The one-inch exit compression driver handles the highs with crisp, natural clarity. It is coupled with JBL's Progressive Transition Waveguide horn, which increases high-frequency coverage and improves the stereo image-field. Combined, these two speakers accurately reproduce all frequencies between 38 Hz and 16 kHz. An internal 1.6 kHz crossover helps guide each frequency to the most efficient driver, for clean tone across the entire range. Your bassist will sound punchy and deep, guitar solos will never sound tinny or thin, and vocals will cut through the mix with warmth and feeling.

Safe, reliable operation
To protect your investment, JRX loudspeakers include SonicGuard circuitry. Harmful energy overload from dropped microphones, amp clipping, and feedback is automatically absorbed before it can damage the drivers. Accidents happen, but your speakers shouldn't have to suffer for them. Even under normal high-stress operation, lesser cabinets can fail. The JRX115 passed JBL's strenuous 100-hour full-power torture test. You can use your speakers at their full rated capacity, night after night, with no loss of performance. With a 250-watt power capacity and 1000-watt peaks, you have plenty of headroom to play your music at high volume with no distortion. JBL recommends a 250-500 watt power amp to drive the cabinet.

Cabinet construction
When you think JBL, quality electronics come to mind. This is true, but their cabinets are just as fantastic. Built with 3/4-inch MDF material and advanced adhesives, they are denser, more rigid, and acoustically superior to the particleboard construction used in other enclosures. The trapezoid design lets you use the JRX115 as mains or wedge monitors with equal effectiveness. Large, non-resonant steel handles help with load-in/out, and an eighteen-gauge steel mesh grille covers the entire front baffle. Both drivers are protected, so no more horror stories about poked-out cones and hefty repair bills. A strong cabinet is critical for tight, clean bass response. Combined with the power and depth of the 15-inch driver, you may discover the JRX115 gives all the low end sound you need, without a subwoofer. You just saved your wallet, and your back, a lot of pain.

Dual-action stand mount
PA speakers usually perform better when mounted up high. If your mains sit on the floor, the first few rows get blasted while the rest of the crowd wonders why you sound so muddy and unfocused. Speaker stands get the mains up in the air, but unwanted reflections off the back wall can often lead to feedback problems. The JRX115 features JBL's dual-action stand mount to provide full-room coverage with no reflection issues. The mount gives you the option to position the mains up high, but with a ten-degree downtilt. This gives you all the sonic dispersion you need, but prevents the reflections from interfering with your music. Everybody in the room gets a great mix, enjoying your songs as they are meant to be heard.

Flexible connectivity
Don't worry about having to start from scratch to take advantage of all that these speakers can bring to your music. JRX115's are designed to integrate into any PA system with ease. Back-panel connections include both 1/4 in. and Neutrik Speakon jacks to accept a variety of amplifier or powered mixer outputs. Run two cabinets for stereo mains, or daisy chain multiple JRX's for vocal or instrument monitors on the stage. The uses are varied but the professional-quality sound is always the same.
