Overall: Awesome sounding speakers I own K12s but I like these way better for sound and quality and wow factor. Best sounding speakers I own. I tried the new peavey impulse 12 and they were defective and have fellow DJs from N.A.M.E. finding the peaveys fective also. I keep trying and using others, but I always seem to go back to JBLs. This one is JBL and Crown amp together. You can't get any better then that.

Sound: I do an acoustic act at mostly mid-size bars. I have used this twice now and could not be happier. It was between two lesser speakers or one 515XT. I chose the 515XT and sincerely believe I made the right choice. Granted it has only been out twice, but the one XT has been more than enough for both of the rooms! I didn't even have to turn the speaker volume past 5. The clarity of my guitar and my vocals are superb. I go through a direct box into a Yamaha MG82CX. The mix is great. Ease of Use: Can't get any easier. Quality: It is hard to answer this after a short time but the JBL reputation says alot. It seems very solid and looks great. I have ordered a bag to carry it in to avoid any scratches on the sleek exterior. Value: I am very pleased with the value, even if I could only afford one right now. With my show sounding better than ever hopefully I will have to buy a second soon enough! The Wow Factor: Sleek and sexy. Hell, I bought a $150 bag for her so she keeps her beautiful finish. The white light in the front is cool as well. Overall: For what I do I can't imagine needign to upgrade. I could ounly see buying another or more!

Sound: Sound quality is amazing. Very smooth Highs and mids and great bass response for a speaker of this size and weight. It works very well in small to medium venues. You'll need add'l speaker coverage for large open rooms. For the best sound i recommend Levels at 3 o'clock, Highs at 1 o'clock and Lows at 11 o'clock. Feature: The handles on the sides and top is very userful. The illuminated logo on the front is very sexy and let's you know power status without having to go behind the speaker. Also the built-in mixer and line-out options make it very flexible. Ease of Use: It is very easy to get great sound from these speakers. I highly recommend reading the manual so you under you to use the built-in mixer. Also make sure you set your levels starting from the source to the speakers. Quality: The product is very well made. It feels very durable and is looks like it will last a very long. In order to keep the speaker looking pristine i highly recommend the speaker case. Value: This product is worth it's selling price and is a better buy compared to other powered speakers of equal or smaller size. The Wow Factor: The JBL EON 515XT is just sexy. Other DJ's and clients drool when i whip them out of the case. Overall: My last set of loudpspeakers were purchased in 2000. I expect to keep these for at least that long.

Overall: I had the EON 15 G2 for years and beat the heck out of them with hundreds of demanding jobs. Just after four wedding the new EON 515xt are falling apart inside. When the bass hits there is a terrible rattle coming from inside both cabinets. I though it was the wing nut bolt, but no it's really something making a terrible rattling from within the cabinets. My old EON15 G2s were made here in the US and these are made in China. Another reviewer on another site has a DJ that said he had a wire come loose inside his cabinet in one of his EON 515xt's. Too bad JBL isn't what is used to be. Now it's Harmon not really JBL from what I hear.

Overall: I purchased the JBL EON 515 when it first came out 4 years ago , since then one of the speakers amps quit ! That was in the beginning of the third year so it was still under warranty , got fixed ! Just had the same speaker amp stop working again ! Now not under warranty and is in the repair shop! I use the speakers about 24 times per year !! My speakers are not the JBL EON 515 XT but im disappointed mine have not been as dependable as i thought !

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
