Great Active Speaker

Have used previous generation JBL EONs in our small church as stage monitors and also as mains and they produce some incredible sound without need for separate power amps. Based on that experience I bought the new JBL EON515XT to use in a portable PA for small to medium sized gigs with a small Mackie mixer with built-in effects for vocals and acoustic guitar. Great! Lot's of power and tons of dynamic range plus very lightweight and portable.

Mighty Mite

I'm gigging regularly as a solo singer/guitarist, using backing tracks. Been a performing pro since 1965. Recently purchased a Roland BA-330, hoping to greatly reduce load-in/load-out. Good little unit, but the Roland can't easily handle noisy saturday night venues. Now, with the addition of 2 carrying lbs, and another $82 spent, I can handle virtually any venue I'm likely to play. I can now gig with the smallest kit I've ever used, with supreme confidence that I'm putting out pristine sound, more head-room and SPL than I'm likely to ever need. Great job, JBL! (Epilogue - trading in the BA-330 on a GR-55 Synth pedal...)

JBL EON515XT is a superior product

I just received and started using my new JBL EON515XT and have found it to be a superior product with a magnificent sound quality. My Yamaha keyboard sounds very full and professional through this speaker. I highly recommend it for all performance needs, even large venues. It is an attractive unit and can be very easily transported. I am very grateful to Mr. Alan Finkbeiner for his guidance and assistance in selecting this outstanding product.

Great Sounding but not overly loud compared to my previous speakers.

I am amazed by the sound of these cabinets. Everything is crisp, clear and punchy with great bass response. The only reason I couldn't give it a full five stars was the 625 watt power rating claims by JBL. My old cabinets, a pair of Carvin LM15A's are rated at 325 watts but yet they are twice as powerful as these JBLs. Still scratching my head over that one. I am able to get the volumes I'm used to but to accomplish the same amount of headroom with my outboard mixer, I need to have the JBL level controls wide open. Maybe manufacturers use a different rating method than when my previous cabs were made. Other than that, sound quality and nice light weight make these cabinets winners. However, I think rating these cabs at 300 watts instead of 625 watts would be generous at best!
