Feature:
It is simple to use, lightweight and has common 1/4" connections.

Quality:
No problems so far. All my Peavey stuff has held up very well throughout years of steady use.

Value:
Given the consistent quality, durability and ease of use, $170 is fair for this product.

Desirability:
This is a utilitarian speaker cab. It does it's job without hype or marketing BS. It may not be the sexiest speaker in the world, but paying too much for advertising hype is just stupid, and stupid is not sexy.

Sound:
With a good amp, it sounds just about as good as anything out there.

Ease of Use:
As straightforward as it gets...

Support:
I have only had to call Peavey once in thirty years of using their stuff. It took a little longer than I though necessary to get the right person on the phone. After that, we got a small issue resolved quickly. (I just wanted to buy a replacement speaker for a ten year-old used amp)

Overall:
I still have a thirteen year old Peavey amp that works perfectly. I expect that with reasonable care and proper use, this thing will last just as long.

Quality:
Light weight and plenty durable. A jack unscrewed after a year's worth of use -- but was easy to repair. You can't seem to hurt these speakers.

Value:
I can't think of a better speaker at this price range. I also own JBL Eons (passive) and they are twice the price, although they sound a bit better. But not twice as good.

Desirability:
very practical.

Sound:
We use a pair of these as stage monitors for live performance. They sound good. Great for the money!

Support:
I needed a minor repair (see above) and went to the local dealer, even though I bought them online. Because it's Peavey, there are ample local dealerships who are helpful, if you ever have a problem.

Overall:
I have owned these for almost two years -- no problems. I expect to keep them for quite a while. I can't imagine anything else will be this good in this price range.

Feature:
could use speak-on inputs, but there goes the price! I was on a budget and the 1/4" plug-ins are OK.

Quality:
So far very good quality. Very light to set up on speaker stands which is why I bought them.

Value:
How could you go wrong with Peavey? Best quality for the dollar.

Desirability:
It does the job.

Sound:
Sounds very clear. I have owned Peavey's for over 20 years and they still manufacture quality speakers. Crisp clean sound. Lack some low-end response, but I knew that before I bought them. Using a Soundcraft Gigrac 1000. It would most likely sound good with most quality PA heads & mixers.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to get the right sound if you have the right PA.

Support:
Its Peavey. I can be assured I will never have to call them. There product stands the test of time.

Overall:
It is a Peavey, so I know it will last 20 years. It could use some more bottom end, but it works fine for a 3 piece band.
