JBL IRX108BT - Excellent
Excellent speaker, and as always excellent service from Matt M and Sweetwater.
Man, I wish speakers like these were an option when I started gigging 36 years ago! lightweight, excellent response, and plenty of power for the small places I play these days.

These things are so loud and clear. The extra options to change tones and allow pass-throughs makes them super versatile.

JBL IRX-108BT
I purchased the JBL IRX-108BT to enhance a performance quality setting within my small home studio. It was the perfect choice with crystal clear sound that can also be enhanced by the appropriate effects when called for.

I highly recommend this piece of equipment for home studio use, and live performance.

Absolute Workhorse
I've owned my IRX108BT for about a year and it's been through everything. I use it for just about everything. I've pushed it to it's max and it still keeps going and sounds really good. I use it for my church band every Sunday and it continues to impress me week after week how well it fills the whole church. It's lightweight and really portable (when transporting put it on it's side to prevent it from moving too much).

The only reason(s) I am not giving this product 5 stars:
A. The built in EQ settings are not the easiest to know what they do exactly. One of the things I wish they did would put a little stamp of the range the EQ is (like Mackie did on the Thump215XT)

B. Getting this thing out of Bluetooth mode was a process, I thought the button just acted like an on/off button and to put it into pairing mode you held it. Well I was wrong, to put it into pairing mode you click it and to turn it on/off you hold it for 4-5 seconds or so.

Other than that, this thing has been phenomenal for the year that I've owned it, I could not be happier with it (after I got around those few reasons)
