VERIFIED BUYER

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Sound: Sounds great to me. I run a pair of subs under these mains to fill out the bottom end. But they sound good by themselves. Feature: It's a 15" woofer with a 5X15 horn. Dual 1/4" jacks allow me to daisy chain the speakers if I want. Ease of Use: You plug them in, that's about it. Quality: I ran these speakers pretty loud for months before I blew the horns. Actually, we later found out it was the fault of the lead guitarist who overdrove the system with his effects/wah pedal misalignment and not so much the speakers failing. Still, at 250 watts RMS, you have to be careful not to expect too much from them. Value: I still think they are great value for the money. If you are on a tight budget, these will get you out and playing in front of people. They might not be as good as JBLs, Peaveys, or Yamahas, but consider the price you pay for them compared to the Nady PS115s. Manufacturer Support: I blew two horns, Nady replaced them under warranty. Only had to pay to ship the drivers out to Nady. The Wow Factor: It does the job, but it doesn't have much sex appeal compared to the lighter molded speakers available. This is just a big box with black carpet on it. Still, it's the sound that is important and I have no complaints there. Overall: These Nady PS115s will be good enough until we can upgrade our whole system. If the speakers get blown, I'd probably just fix it. If they were lost or stolen, I'd probably look at other more expensive speakers and upgrade at that time. But these speakers have paid for themselves many times over at live gigs and have allowed me to save up money to someday purchase an upgrade.

Sound: sounds solid with good power amp. i used it with a small pa at first and i was fighting feedback because i had to crank the volume to get the sounds. now with a good power amp it handles good, louder and no feedback. Feature: i bought stands for these. Ease of Use: bulky when space is limited Quality: i justed wanted tell how after a gig i let these ride home in the back of a truck with someone else. there was a thunderstorm and it rained most of the night. i went to picked them up the next day and they were still in the back of the truck uncovered. i found them facing up full of water. i dumped the water out. put them away until the next jam. to my amazement they still played good. i still use them today. in fact at a recent gig they played great years after the flood. The Wow Factor: i bought them from a fellow muscian so the price was right.

Sound: I use a yamaha 600watt powered mixer with 2 of these puppies. They get the job done if your on a tite budget. But if you got the money go for a pair of JBL's! Feature: The protective grate they use tends to rattle because there is not enough room between the speaker and the grate. Quality: Very cheaply made,but you get what you pay for. Value: yes,it is worth the price,but as i said before you GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Manufacturer Support: Nady's web site is awfull,recently BLEW one of my 2 speakers i filled out the service questionaire,put much thought and time into explaining my situation,clicked send and kept getting a connection failure warning.Finally after 3 tries a copy and pasted the questionare and sent it through my email account...very,very annoying! You would think as many years as nady has been in buisness they would have a better and easier to use sitte then they do. Not only is it all in hot pink background thats enough to give you a headache but more then a few links dont work and you get a connection failure warning for most. The Wow Factor: Very practical. Overall: After blowing one of them out recently,i'm deffinitly second guessing buying another one of these particular speakers. I may still go with NADY(depending on how there service center handles my warranty situation)i will probably go with the 600watt 15's.
