I bought a pair of these as an alternative to my EV115p's that I've used for the last two years. They are primarily for smaller venues that don't need a huge sound.They're that much smaller that I can carry the two at the same time but there's certainly no compromise on sound quality. They are impressively powerful and easily match my EV's with a powerful thump and a lovely top end. If I have one criticism, it's that the overall sound does sound a little processed.
I would certainly recommend these for anyone starting out in the performance industry.
