Feature:
Has what it needs.

Quality:
Too akward in shape and at 100lbs, need 2 people to haul. The finish is a textured black, but the matching mains are grey and smooth and that simply does not match.

Value:
Price is fair, but rather pay $150 more for QSC K-sub for portabiliy.

Desirability:
No appeal as is just a heavey box that doesn't resemblr the MSR400s I own.

Sound:
Yamaha usually has good sounding gear, but I returned this without even playing through it because.................read more.

Ease of Use:
Like any powered speaker, easy.

Support:
Don't know.

Overall:
Returned asap.

Feature:
OK, so it's powered. That makes it easier to hook up. And it has direct inputs, and EQ. eh!

Quality:
Well made internally. Stupidest design on the planet.

Value:
There's better stuff out there for better money. Do your homework.

Desirability:
Again, it's clumsy, and the exterior is poorly designed.

Sound:
If you bother to hear this against other product out there, you would find that this speaker system does not really sound all that good. I compared my G2 15" powered eons to JBL MR925's and even a cheapo Carvin PA cabinet. The MR925 sounded better, and the Carvin sounded better than either. I have since dumped them, and haven't looked back!!

Ease of Use:
Plug and play.

Support:
You can usually get a tech on the phone.

Overall:
I dumped mine. Go compare, and you'll dump yours too.
