"Nady needs to glue down crossovers and shock isolate or brace horn, which buzzes when bass guitar hits F# notes."

Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars

If reworked by the customer, they are fine. As is, they are unreliable.
Sound
The horn is stronger than the woof, volume wise, has to be heavily EQ'ed to avoid feedback thru SM-58 mics. Provides high volumes when correctly EQ'ed.
Features
Config is adequate with 1/4 inputs. Internal components and cabinet are substandard. Crossovers vibrate apart under moderate bass levels, horn vibrates around at certain freq's. Will explain below...
Quality
At a medium level volume gig, one speaker woof stopped output. It was the crossover...the coil vibrated off the circuitboard. I reglued it and resoldered it, & added glue to the other one to prevent future failure. Next gig, both speakers developed rattle internal, it was the horn itself which is not mounted securely. I braced it up with some wood. Bad design.
Value
Aside from shoddy parts / defects, the speakers perform reasonably well for their price. If they glued the crossovers better and added some physical bracing or soft gasket to horns mounting to eliminate rattle, these would be great.
Manufacturer Support
Due to shipping cost, it would be prohibitive to deal with warranty repair on a HEAVY BIG cheep speaker. I expected this when I bought it...to deal with my own repairs. I heard their service is not good, poor repair dept is probably swamped with defects.
The Wow Factor
Cosmetically they are great, though I would prefer carpet instead of vinyl due to road dings.

Nady THS-1515 PA Speaker Customer Review

Overall: 1 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
The woofer does not product crisp bass. The horn sounds very good at apartment party, but you must work with the controls on your pre-amp in order to get the bass sounding ok. I purchased a pair, I had to return both, two more were UPS ground shipped to me and those two were also damage. All four speakers had loose crossovers inside the cabinet.
Features
The speaker looks great and that is all.
Value
Nice looking speaker for $160 bucks.
Manufacturer Support
I email the Nady company and got no reply.
