Feature:
Built in stand mounts are the most useful feature. Fly points are useless for me (mobile DJ). I do wish they had speakon inputs, but only because I use my Crown amp on them. I have used a QSC, a Peavey, and a Sunn amp without speakon and this wasn't a concern.
Quality:
Always reliable. Easy on the eyes when you first buy them, but don't bang em up. They show scuffs easily. Not a concern for me, I knew this before I bought them and it's usually dark where I play. I have been pounding these 2 nights a week for a few months now, and look forward to using them for a long time.
Value:
Powered by my Crown CE1000, I have never bought a set of mains that bang out such great sound for so cheap!
Desirability:
I needed a new set of mains, bought these, and will probably buy another pair in a few weeks.
Sound:
Nice smooth sound. Great match of woofer and tweeter. I dirve these cabs HARD and they RESPOND! By themselves, they are great for a small crowd, however, due to a lack of deep bass response you'll need a subwoofer for larger crowds. I have them crossed over at 200Hz. They handle so much more power when you use a seperate sub. I play mostly Hip Hop and Dance, but one night of the week I play mostly modern rock. I also do private parties and have even used these as monitors for a band! They have never failed me in any situation, furthermore, they have exceeded my expectations.
Support:
Support? For what? If you don't know how to hook them up maybe you could use support, but you won't have to call for repairs if you use them correctly.
Overall:
Compared to other speakers in this price range. These are the best. Nady, Gemini, Gemsound, and so on are junk. They use cheap tweeters that are harsh sounding and blow out easily. I was in the market for a pair of speakers for under $400. Never expected to find Peavey's for this price. I love the lightweight design, but the great sound is my favorite feature. I don't like how they don't fit my old speaker stands, they use the smaller pole mount.
