Feature:
Gives you option for EQ which is great if you are doing a smaller venue and don't want to drag a sub in.

Quality:
So far they seems to be very well made. The handles are very sturdy.

Value:
Expensive for the size, but for the sound they are better than the more expensive competitors like JBL.

Desirability:
Because of the size it doesn't intimidate certain venue owners.

Sound:
They have the clearest sound of all speakers I testing including Mackies, JBL and EV.

Ease of Use:
Very lightweight compared to the older versions making them easy to handle and putting up on poles. You have to read the manual for the different input options, but it was pretty easy.

Support:
Haven't used it. The 6 year warranty is something that the other brands doesn't even come close to.

Overall:
The build quality, 6 year warranty, Sound quality above the competitors make this the best option out there for small to medium venues.

Feature:
I like the low-end switch you get a nice bass

Quality:
No Issues

Value:
Too expansive for what they are SRM450 are a much better value

Desirability:
If they really were 1000W I would buy again, but these things are not loud enough for a large gig

Sound:
Sounds clean, but I agree the 1000W is a lie. I have SRM450's and these speakers are not any louder (SRM450 are only 300W)

Ease of Use:
I had to look at the manual to figure our which output to use

Support:
Sent 3 emails and got no reply for over 12 days now

Overall:
I just can get over the lie about 1000W power

Feature:
too may features that kill the sound. they tied to pack a mixer into this speaker, but every time you add more controls the sound suffers

Quality:
no issues

Value:
Over priced for what it is

Desirability:
Never again

Sound:
Clean, bud does not compair to EVs.

Ease of Use:
easy, but not obvious

Support:
never used it

Overall:
There is no way this thing is 1000W - It's a LIE. It does ok with a powered instrument plugged in such a keyboard, but forget about plug-in a mc or a guitar without a preamp. There is no way you can do a life show. It gets loud enough in my living room, but there is no way it will be loud enough for an outdoor gig - VERY DISAPOITED in volume level

Feature:
Simple to connect, but it's not 1000W. 1000W is a lie. It has two 500W amps that are not bridged, so at best you will get 500W. As compare to SRM45v2, the volume was at about the same level, but the quality of the sound made it sound much lower volume (because of the flatness).

Quality:
have not had issues, but I only owned it for 1 month

Value:
OVERPRICED

Desirability:
Nope

Sound:
I lined them up side by side with Mackie's SRM450v2. No contest, Mackie wins. At flat mixer settings and at Unity level on the speakers, K12 don't even come close to Makies. The sound is flat and to low. No definition for mids and highs. And for the money I paid, it was a BAD deal.

Ease of Use:
Not obvious if both Levels must be turned up t get the full output volume and sound quality

Support:
have not used them
