"Great main speakers for small-medium sized venue!"
If these died or were stolen I would immediately look for the same speakers to replace them. They sound wonderful, are lightweight and built like a tank.
Sound
Solid low and high-end representation. I tested these against a dozen other speaker setups (JBL, Mackie, Peavey, Yamaha, etc) and they really stood out. Seemed to handle the low end very well and nicely non-fatiguing on the high-end.
Features
There's not much in the features dept for FOH mains. But they are flyable, have a bi-amp option and are very lightweight.
Ease of Use
Plug in, play, sound good. Pretty straight forward.
Quality
Feels like it's built for real life. Tough EV quality, solid parts, no baby knobs that can get kicked or bumped off.
Value
I got these as a return. It was a SMOKIN' deal and at the pricepoint they outperformed the rest of the competition by far!
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to deal with them.
The Wow Factor
Looks sharp, I really like the front grill. Kind of "hides" the whole speaker face and gives it a nice clean front. Again, the sound is incredible - crisp, clean and thumpy.
