Same sounds you're making, only much, much louder. Exactly what it should be. Nothing added, nothing lost.
Sound
Extremely clear! Very low distortion at levels near the threshold of pain. They even sound great at low levels. Others have said here that subwoofers should be used with these cabs in larger venues. All I can add is that it certainly seems to reproduce bass, kick drums, and other low frequencies very well in smaller venues. These cabs are pretty efficient, not needing a great deal of power to produce high levels. Vocals sound soooo good through these.
Features
Hardware is well thought out. Speakon connectors are really nice.
Quality
Very well built. Will take plenty of road use.
Value
The MP225 is not inexpensive. They do compare very well to Mackie and Peavey models that are a bit more expensive. This is a very good value in a high end speaker.
Manufacturer Support
Too early to give an opinion, but JBL has a pretty good reputation. Professional sound is a big part of their business.
The Wow Factor
If you're into black monoliths, this is your speaker. With some light on the front of the cabinets, its fun to see those big ol' JBL 15s lurking in there.

Jbl is one of the top of the line cabinets. They make middle of the road products to compete withe the other manufactures.When you order there upper line models they are the best for the money.
Sound
They are clean and crisp. I would suggest using the 418s m-pro subwoofer cabinet with these speakers for larger rooms.
Features
They are not hard to handle and are well balanced when using the handles.
Quality
Well built cabs. Good hardware and trim. They will take the beating of being on the road if need be.they are great.
Value
JBL speaks for itself
Manufacturer Support
I have used JBL on and off for the last 35 years. Never had a problem of any kind. Use them not abuse them. Need good power amps that will not clip or distort when using them and you will not have a problem.
The Wow Factor
They look and sound like a professional sound cabint should. Clean and clear with good seperation.
