The short version of this review: Great little PA for small gigs. Buy it.Long version of this review: Ok, let me tell you my background so you know where I am coming from. Been playing professionally for 55 years, guitar, keyboards, violin, horns, drums. For decades I have been a touring guitar player in a power Blues Band complete with horn section, keys, etc... Will this PA be suitable for that environment? Not a chance. Will it suffice for a smaller gig with horns, and full band in a roadhouse bar? Nope. Won't cut it. But that's not why I purchased this. I have thousands of dollars invested in a massive PA/sound system. But I also play solo piano jazz in small to mid sized 'quiet' settings as a jazz pianist/singer. This system is perfect for that. I can sit behind a full sized grand piano and just this little PA and a good mic with a small 4 channel mixer and the vocals cut through like nobody's business. Crystal clear, rich and full with plenty of headroom. Will it work for a garage band that bangs out tunes with amps set to 11? No. But for smaller, quieter venues, perfect!. I am very satisfied with this purchase, and for around $350 could not be happier. As to the components, the speakers sound good with a small mixer hooked up and using a good Shure mic. Vocals are rich, deep and clear. The cables are cheap, I wouldn't depend on those lasting long but I always bring plenty of extras to any gig, so I'll use these until they break. The mic...well, I haven't even tried it.… read more I like my Shures and Seinheisers, so this is just carried as a spare. The stands are short, not full sized, but that's OK for me, I use this while sitting at a piano, so the height is good for that. All in all, if you know its limitations, you will be happy. If you expect this PA to cover a stadium, or even your backyard party over your guitarist's full Marshall, forget it. But if you are planning on doing acoustic guitar/ coffee shop or piano lounge stuff, this is perfect!
