"Good for the money.Not as good as the "real" Mackies...but few are."

These go loud and can take a pretty good beating. Still breaking them in and finding out their limits but I have not burped them yet with a Mackie M4000 even with a bass heavy hip hop track-(though I think it could be done)
Sound
These go loud and are efficient, 8 ohms.Bass is a little better than I expected but my expectations were low because of the voice coil sizes freq, response specs and low price.
These are much better than the real cheap entry level speaker brands.Not a lot of distortion but they do cause listening fatigue for me.Have not pinpointed just what it is yet but I suspect its the compression horn or the midrnage playing through a 15 inch.These fill an area with music loud and clear and probably untouchable at this price point, but they do lack that special oh- so- sweet quality that makes high dollar ,high volume listening a long term pleasure.
Features
More wiring options would be nice.I dont like speakon and these are 2 wire speakon with 2 poles empty -not bi-wire-l so I just took the cover off and hard wired them.
Ease of Use
Plug it in or take it apart and wire it up.
Quality
Theres better but its hard to beat for the price.MAckie didnt put their name on it and some corners were cut-or broken plastic maybe. Crossover components seem competent, not junk , just not nothing real special.
Value
Better than the entry level contenders and quality is fairly good...not sure I'd recommend for a professional performance unless for sound reinforcement rather than primary speakers.

"A lot of speaker for the money"
Verified Purchaser

Pretty damn good cabs. A little frosty on the high end but that can be fixed.
Sound
Very clear sound. I know the Tapco name from the late 70s. The high end is a little too frosty. Low end doesn't really kick in till you crank them up a little. When they first arrived I let a friends band use them at a bar gig. Fairly big size room. They ran 2 vocal mics, a mic for guitar, 2 for drums and a direct for bass. The mixer was a modest powered mixer. No distortion. I looked at the mixer and the high end was cut on the board to almost nothing. I will be using these speakers with 2 18" subs with a crossover. that should calm down some of the high end. So keep in mind these speakers lean toward the high end spectrum.
Features
Real wood cabinets. YES! That itself is a BIG PLUS. Birch is the best wood to use when it comes to speaker cabs
Ease of Use
I cant believe anyone would have a problem connecting these to a mixer.
Quality
again, WOOD CABINETS. but,,,the so called protective corners are not going to protect anything. My speakers arrived with one corner protector cracked. Why? 2 reasons, UPS & the corners are plastic
Value
for what I paid for 2 I could have bought one of something else with the same quality
Manufacturer Support
never had to deal with them

awsum sound and clarity for the money... actual true horn protection. if you listen the top 15 does not carry the bass as the bottom driver acting more like a 3 way... great for "full range" non biamped setups... eaw design??? come on... sadly discontinued :(
