I'd prefer Speakon, but this is an older model. The Club V have the Speakon connections.
Sound Quality

Speaker is very good. We received them second-hand off craigslist. We we're surprised by the sound. We run a Crown CE1000 bridged for each speaker. It sounds even better with the QSC PLX series amps. We have never had any distortion. You shouldn't as long as you properly power the speaker.
HF is typically very directional with most designs, but this has 90 degrees versus most setups with 60 degrees.

Handles are very sturdy. I've used a lot of JBL (Junky But Loud) speakers and their lower end stuff can't compared. The construction is very solid.
The only problem with these speakers is that it is front heavy. These are meant to be transportable and not for installed systems. They are very heavy.
Overall Rating
:
9
Overall it has performed very well. We've used it in over 100 shows in two years and it has never failed us. I would recommend it to other musicians for the price vs performance factor.
I would strongly recommend having subwoofers. These won't cover your low end very well. The frequency response really drops off at around 100 Hz. It just doesn't move enough air.
