Can't be beat

Amazing sound reproduction for a PA speaker. I am combining these with a Crown XLS1000 and a Yamaha MG82CX for a small PA system. I have heard every respectable portable PA and this combo is far ahead of them all

Clear & Crisp

I usually do not rate any product at a five, but the price point verses performance earned the extra point. It was not just the price point that drew my attention to these gems. After reading the specs; it appeared on paper to fit my need lists. The crossovers worked live as they claimed they would on paper. The spatial pattern lived up to my expectations; with absolute minimal weak spots Understand however that I am filling alot of space with alot of sound with these. I am using two as main PA and two as floor monitors. Which I like because EQ, compression, and effects are not altered due to the usual differences between PA and monitor designs.
The overall sound is very clean, precise, and uniform throughout the venue. I knew going in I would be losing the very lowest end given the driver size and FQ response of these speakers. I also knew that I could "enhance" the low end with EQ and added digital processing. I can "thump" them if I wish. The crossovesr are very responsive to EQ changes; a technology Mackie claimed-and is true. The only reason I could see bumping up to the c-300 is a larger driver for bands or dj's that need alot of lower end to complete their sound. I could see many uses for this speaker- including home use as a guitar or piano rehearsal. I have no doubt that it would faithfully reproduce these instruments with no problem.

clear as a bell

Great speaker for the money. I am picky about sound - hate it when it is muddy. These speakers provide a kind of clarity in the vocals that has been missing in the previous EVs, Yamahas, and older Mackies I have used over the years

Great Speaker for it's range

I bought a pair of these to replace some old 12 inch tin sounding JBL speakers that worked great in the day but just got old. These not only matched those larger speakers but blew me away with the clarity, volume, and dispersion. I mounted a speaker in each corner of a larger sized gymnasium and they filled the room with clarity from every angle. I would totally recommend these to someone who needs a small scale sound system and if I had the money I would throw a sub under these. I believe the pair would be awesome
