These Nady PS115s will be good enough until we can upgrade our whole system. If the speakers get blown, I'd probably just fix it. If they were lost or stolen, I'd probably look at other more expensive speakers and upgrade at that time. But these speakers have paid for themselves many times over at live gigs and have allowed me to save up money to someday purchase an upgrade.

Sound
Sounds great to me. I run a pair of subs under these mains to fill out the bottom end. But they sound good by themselves.

Features
It's a 15" woofer with a 5X15 horn. Dual 1/4" jacks allow me to daisy chain the speakers if I want.

Ease of Use
You plug them in, that's about it.

Quality
I ran these speakers pretty loud for months before I blew the horns. Actually, we later found out it was the fault of the lead guitarist who overdrove the system with his effects/wah pedal misalignment and not so much the speakers failing. Still, at 250 watts RMS, you have to be careful not to expect too much from them.

Value
I still think they are great value for the money. If you are on a tight budget, these will get you out and playing in front of people. They might not be as good as JBLs, Peaveys, or Yamahas, but consider the price you pay for them compared to the Nady PS115s.

Manufacturer Support
I blew two horns, Nady replaced them read more under warranty. Only had to pay to ship the drivers out to Nady.

The Wow Factor
It does the job, but it doesn't have much sex appeal compared to the lighter molded speakers available. This is just a big box with black carpet on it. Still, it's the sound that is important and I have no complaints there.
