Feature:
I was hesitant to buy these because of the blue color and the price but honestly I needed to stop carrying my amp rack and heavy passive speakers. The dark blue can only be noticed in daylight but they look great, at night they blend in and look like black speakers.

Quality:
So far they are solid, i have experience with the old SRM450 and the actual enclosure is the same, just a different color. Why re-invent the wheel when you know you have an amazing product! They only changed what they needed to change.

Value:
The price is not too bad but i feel they are worth it!

Desirability:
If you want to receive compliments from your audience and lighten your carrying load when traveling, these are the perfect speakers for you!

Sound:
Oh my! I could not believe how clear these babies sound when I play EVERY style of music through them (no matter what volume). These sound a lot clearer than the original SRM450 and are noticeably lighter (big plus). I pushed them hard for over 4 hours when I first got them in and there was barely any heat coming from the amp on the back (room temperature was about 78 degrees). I have not seen the peak light turn on no matter how loud I put them and the sound is AMAZING! I recommend a subwoofer to fill in the bass but even alone they hit hard as low as 55hz.

Ease of Use:
Just plug a signal and power cord and you are good to go! No need for crossovers or ANY equalizer, it is all built in!

Support:
I have not had any problems yet and i hope that stays that way.

Overall:
I am very satisfied with my purchase and will most likely buy another pair in the future. If you have any thoughts or questions about the new Mackie SRM450v2, just ask me!

Feature:
A built-in EQ could have been a nice feature

Quality:
No Issue so far

Value:
Could be $50 cheaper to feel really good about this buy

Desirability:
I will buy another pair

Sound:
Very Clean and powerfull. Beats the QSC K12 hands down.

Ease of Use:
Simple. Plug and play

Support:
Have not used it

Overall:
The only reason I did not give it a 10 is because they are a bit heavy and the handle is not an ideal design

Feature:
Simple

Quality:
No Issues and I won several makie products,

Value:
Not much in the market that you can get with this sound quality for this much,

Desirability:
Not the best looking and design, I am not crazy about the blue color and the handle is not the most the comfortable. The sound quality makes up for it.

Sound:
I lined them up side by side with QSD K12. No contest, Mackie wins. At flat mixer settings (Mackie CFX12) and at Unity level on the speakers, K12 don't even come close to Makie's. The sound on Mackie's is Full and rich and o K12 it is flat and low. Makies are agreat buy.

Ease of Use:
Plug-and-play

Support:
Had no reason to use them

Overall:
Get it, you'll be happy.

Quality:
Have had two of these for four months and the amp for the tweeter blew on both without pushing them. Very disappointed.

Support:
They now send you to a local store that estimates 2-3 weeks. Instead of sending you one to use.
