Only minus is they are very heavy at 65 lbs.
Sound Quality

Sounds very smooth and HiFi. Very good low end even without subs.
I measured 114db continuous at 6 feet.
Very loud and clean even when driven 6db into limiting.

On-board DSP prevents clipping and any possibility of driver damage. Heavy enough that you should use crank-up stands.
They have handles that are well placed for picking them up to put on stands.
They have an undocumented clip limiter light on the front - the blue power on LED flashes red. I was concerned that the only documented clip indicators were the two on the back, one for each input.
Setting the input level to 12 o'clock is about right for full output from a mixer.
They have an adjustable high pass filter for use with subs.

I tried to blow it up and couldn't.
Seems very well made, one of Behringer's better products.
If you can deal with their 65lb weight they are a good value as they seem to sell at a discount - perhaps because most are looking for a lighter speaker?
