"Get's the job done!"
I will use it until it stops working. Hopefully, it should give me many years of great service. If the unit was lost or stolen, I would be sad, but let's not go there. Would I buy another? If the unit had a more powerful Sub Woofer to work with the EXP's.
Sound
The sound of the Samson Expedition 250 watt Pa System is clean. The DSP feature is nice, especially for singers. The unit is perfect for a standard Vocal PA or small to medium Dj/combo/public speaking gig.
The unit needs to be used with a Bass Sub if you want to kick it harder in clubs. However, if you use it for promotional events with DJ music...you will be fine. The unit works well with larger cabs and smaller speakers. For exampe, the peavy PR 10's or any 15 Cab with oomph will augment the overall sound. Jacks: 1/4 and XLR,and Rca connections are convenient. Offers a wireless plugin for wireless mics.
How to improve system: First, enlarge the wheels for better rolling.
Add a Bass Sub to improve low end. Offer a 15 speaker! Integrate a CD player into unit. Finally, install a protective cover for the pan pots on the mixer to prevent damage.
Features
Yes, the Samson mic is nice, but could use a on off switch. Cables for the speakers is satisfactory. Mic clip works fine.
Ease of Use
Easy to use....enough said. Unit sounds good as a monitor for a keyboard player or musician/singer.
Quality
Samson did a good job. Just work on the wheels for better rolling. Should last a long time with proper care.
Value
Yes! Good price. Not nearly as expensive as other powered speakers/PA systems. However, unit is worth every dollar if you need a system to augment vocals, monitor, small dj gigs or performing in small venues like a corporate event, coffee shop.
Manufacturer Support
NO.

"You have got to see this!"
I expect that i will be satisfied with this unit for some time. I would however like two own two of the same units with a separate mixer and then also a subwoofer. Then i think for my use , I would have everything I need, simple, portable, fast and effective.
Sound
This system has a constant hiss which can become quite annoying when no actual sound is being made. I miss a bit of bass as well. Other than that it sounds great and I am a happy owner.
Features
This system comes with a mic so thats usefull. The casette option could better be replaced by the manufacturers with a recordable dvd, or even better an inbuilt eight track recorder.
Quality
I have no doubt tht this unit will last for many years.
The Wow Factor
This is not a "masculin must have" otherwise it would have to be black and bulky.

"expedition series"
Support was terrible. No replacement parts. Biggest mistake of DJing career was to purchase these speakers. It would be different if support was great but no way will I ever purchase the samson brand again.
