Sound:
I bought a pair of these to replace a couple 15" Behringer molded speakers. They were just too heavy and I was too lazy to haul them around anymore. I'm doing quieter 'adult' type gigs now, and i don't ned the high power speakers. These speakers are compact, light, and you can carry a pair of them easily. They sounded great at the New Years gig I did, and I never pushed my new Behringer mixer past 4 on mains, and 3 on monitors, using a 900 watt 10 channel mixer. I have an older pair of Behringer VS1220 monitors, and I noticed they have a much brighter high end sizzle, but they also use horns instead of tweeters. So, I do a single solo act and use backing tracks and play guitar and sing. I had two of these set on the stage floor facing out, and two monitors facing up at me. For the dinner set, I was almost only on the monitors, using the mains for filling out the sound. I aimed the mains almost in a baseball diamond pattern, 90 degrees. The people I play for want to hear the music but don't want them pointed at their faces. Later in the evening I cranked the speakers up and they performed well except that I had to crank the high end up on the mains, my new speakers, cuz they didn't sizzle like the older Behringer monitors. These speakers were perfectly matched to the Behringer mixer, and none of the equipment ever seeemed to be strained or distort, even at loud volumes.
Feature:
Two ergonomic handles on the sides, easy to lift and compact. However it's worth noting that I did have one handle snap off one of my 3 year old monitors, how that happened I have no idea. When I looked into the hole where the plastic handle went, it looked straightforward to fix. Nice sturdy metal grates, fuzzy animal grey covering, sturdy rubber feet. These guys, like their predecessors, are sturdy and I expect them to last a long time.
Ease of Use:
Plug and play!
Quality:
For the money you won't find a better made, high quality value for a speaker. I punched these little guys on New Years Eve and they cranked out the volume and low end and it was surprising how much bass they put out. Make sure you get a good high powered mixer to match these guys.
The manual like with all Behringer documentation was well written, extensive, and clear. The speakers were packed well, plastic wrapped and taped, and had extra padding in the boxes. You get a Behringer bumper sticker in every box. I've heard people slamming Behringer products over the years, and I've only had one speaker arrived DOA. They are well made, sturdy, well thought out, and perform beautifully for the money. I've bought Behringer since 2003 and this is going on seven years of customer satisfaction. I just bought a Behriner GMX110 guitar combo from Zzounds and that also is excellent for the money. Buy it, you won't be unhappy, i promise.
Value:
Behringer uses the same factories as Mackie and other name brands, or should I say the other name brands use Behringer factories for their products?! All their stuff looks unbelievably nice and high quality for the price. I've been buying Behringer stuff since 2003 and push my equipment hard on special occasions. The stuff works tough, with spirit and keeps pushing out the music as much as I push it. When I was younger I used to worry about name brands now I buy what is the best value for the money. And I think Behringer is getting quite a good name now that they've gotten control of their quality control over production. You will not find a better value for the money. Period.
Manufacturer Support:
Sent them a couple questions and they emailed me back a couple days later. Friendly, informative and made sure I understood the solution. One time I had a failed Behringer effect, and they directed me to a store that sold Behringer, and I received a brand new replacement and the store mailed back the defective unit at Behringer's expense. Good service.
The Wow Factor:
these speakers look great and sound great. they make me sound sexy! seriously the stuff looks very professional and clean on stage. I've been performing since 1970's and owned it all. this looks as good as any of the stuff on the market.
Overall:
I can probably use these speakers for years until I decide to sell them to someone else. The other pair of Behringers I got in 2003 are still going strong in another club down the street! If you're comparing these to another similar size by other brands, save yourself some money and get thse. If you're that worried about the name on the cabs take the grill off and unscrew the logo. But you will love these little guys. They have soul and will work hard for you.
