Why break your back with big heavy speakers when these will handle many jobs just as well. Plenty of volume for small-to-mid-size rooms. Clean sound. Simple operation. Could only be better with the addition of a pole mount bracket.

I thought this was going to be a little wimp,was I surprised when I hooked it up....plenty of power and head room.and at only 20lbs . you can't beat it for the price,vocals are clean.You solo acts could use it as a stand alone compact system,,,cooool

Quality:
Made well, with high density plastic, and over all good speaker.

Value:
Very worth the dollar value. I have spent more and lost out. You can't go wrong with this monitor.

Sound:
This is a monitor, not a main speaker, or a music instrument amplifier. Keep in mind, there is no EQ, simple tone knob and volume knob. The sound is VERY LOUD! I can't even turn it past 2 without it really getting up there. During a concert I might push it to 3 if the stage volume is loud. My acoustic guitar is really hot though. Others may need to turn it up a tad more. But as far as volume, this little and Very "light weight" monitor with amp, is very very LOUD! Great and perfect for me. I won't be using a stage amp for a long time now. This thing is just too convenient and a highly recommended product for those who need something small with a lot of volume.

Overall:
I think I am set. I don't want to lug equipment around. This monitor has 2 features, Loud, and light weight. The sound is good for a monitor. You will not get the sound of a guitar amp or acoustic amplifier from it, unless you go through a processor first. But for the most part, thats why it is a monitor, it should be flat and dry.

Feature:
The size was what attracted me to this monitor in the first place...small.

Value:
It's not worth the price. Even though it cost me $50 to ship it back, I know I would not use it if I kept it.

Sound:
The line input (using a CD player as a source) sounded really bad. The highs were distorted and the overall sound was nowhere near flat. When using the Amp In input (bypasses tone controls) the sound improved but was still unsatisfactory (very edgy). I think the problems were related to cheap tone control circuits and a really bad choice of high-frequency driver for this product.

Overall:
The Yamaha MSR-100 totally blows away the Fender 1270P. Yes, the Yamaha costs about $100.00 more but it is an order of magnitude better than the Fender. I really expected much more quality from a Fender product.

Quality:
The power jacks have come loose from the body, got it fixed, now I can hear something rattleing around inside when I move it.

Value:
Cheap, but it's the item I would use to say "let's not get stuck with another one like this"

Sound:
It has a nasty hum, perhaps a power conditioner would help. Our other stuff sounds fine though so it's not like it's just bad power.

Overall:
It still works after about 6 years, but when I have the money I will upgrade. It's the kind of thing that just makes you frustrated to think about.

Feature:
Features are useful, but parts are cheapest available. Not roadworthy.

Quality:
This monitor is not well made. The parts are cheap, the fit and finish is poor. Not roadworthy!

Value:
Cheap is not always good value. This monitor proves that.

Sound:
This Fender monitor sounded good for a couple of months, but is cheaply made, and now is sounding distorted and needs service. The owners manual does not mention warranty repair at all.

Ease of Use:
Easy to use.

Overall:
Might be fine for home use for people on a strict budget. Not acceptable for a hard-working gigging musician.
