"Great Speakers... Fantastic value."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
All things considered, there are too many advantages, looks, sound, weight, price, the Peavey name... no going wrong with these.
Sound
Sounds fine. I'm not sure what the others were compaining about. They're $200 speakers. I subscribe to a couple ProSound forums, and whenever someone is looking for a low-cost speaker that's a good value, this speaker comes up every time.
Features
1/4" only no Speakon, but that's fine with me.
NO piezo tweeter, they've got a good compression driver, and
good protection there... I've seen the cab light up quite a few times as a result of feedback, and they're still working perfectly.
Ease of Use
Can't get easier, light as a feather (almost).
Quality
For the price, I don't know what out there is better.
And for any price, they just sound good enough for anything I've used them for, short of a large band in a large venue, for which I just brought other speakers, but who knows, these may have done okay.
Value
I've gotta give a ten here, where I can take the price completely into consideration. There is no better value for $200, and I shop carefully.
Manufacturer Support
I've never needed any, but Peavey's support is known to be good.
I belong to a couple pro-sound forums, and peavey engineers are always there helping people... great company with great product and staff.
The Wow Factor
Actually, they've got me so spoiled with their looks, light-weight and good sound, I don't know what I'd do without them.
I've got much-more expensive speakers, and they rarely go out since I've gotten these.

"Best speakers ever bought."
Verified Customer

You need these no matter what. They are very usefull and LOUD.
Sound
The sound is awesome. The high frequency drivers now have 2 fuses so you really cant blow them unless you are pushing them hard. These are way better then the first made. The first always blew the fuse before blowing the tweeter its self. It was a simple fix but it was still a waste of money . I myself never have blown a speaker because i know how to run them. The only problem with these are the low frequency. The 15inch sub doesnt really hit that hard.

Ease of Use
Plus into the 1/4 jack. And GO.
Quality
Very durable. Very light. Very small. If you are looking for just high frequency go with PR12s those are realy small but these are go for mids also.
Value
For something so small and so loud its worth the 195 I spent on thse babys

Sound
i own these speakers ,and couldn't ask for a better sound.i am a female musician and singer. prior to buying these speakers, it was very difficult to set the sound to fit my voice,with the speakers i was using. these give a nice crisp sound for the voice. and another thing,theyr'e so lightweight ,that i can move them around myself. theyv'e proven to give a good sound, outdoors, nightclubs,and church. i've had them 4 years, and and they still look brand new, no scuffs. i wouldn't trade them.can't go wrtong with the sound you get from these speakers.
Features
no accessories included
Ease of Use
so easy to get a great sound from the4se speakers, that i can set everything myself.

"Drawback... What Drawback??"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I am very satisfied with the Peavey PR15. As stated before, i own other speakers. But the PR15's are the mains i choose to take out week after week. Great sound and easy to carry. I would definitely purchase them again if they were lost or stolen.
Sound
The Peavey PR15 has a GREAT overall sound. Good solid bass and clear crisp highs. A good Quality sound at lower levels yet able to crank it out when needed. My only suggestion would be to use an additional sub-woofer for extreme bass conditions or outdoor venues.
Features
Lightweight and Durable! Having only 1/4" inputs is kind of a drawback, Speakon connections would be a plus.
Ease of Use
Just Plug-n-Play
Quality
Overall the PR15 is a well built speaker. The polypropylene (plastic) housing makes this speaker almost indestructible. The 1/4" connectors also seem to be very solid. Not flimsy like a lot of them out there today.
Value
GREAT VALUE!! I own other speakers that i have paid much more for, And the Peavey PR15 holds it's own! Well worth the money spent.
Manufacturer Support
No Opinion. Not needed. I have had no issues to report.
The Wow Factor
Purchased the PR15 as a practical addition to my PA system, But they do have a nice professional appearance.

I bought these cabs because they are light weight and sound good at a fair price

"The way of the future"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I've owned about 3 different 15" speaker enclosures 2 set's of Peavey's speakers & 1 set of JBL's but never a plastic enclosures type speaker. I kept seeing them more & more over the years & wondered if they would hold up plus they weren't cheap so I did my homework compared these.
For the value & reliability you just couldn't pass them up. Was contemplating a pair SP5 & its fine if you have help to lift them but ever find yourself at a gig & your band who was supposed to be there early to help is running late or MIA? Then your the one who has to move the PA & set it up. Now it wont be as much of a burden to move these bad boys. It may still suck moving the PA for your flaky band mates but it wont break your back, or your wallet & you'll still sound great. I don't dread lifting these speaker like my old ones also the bass response when playing music is still punchy.

Verified Customer

I have a set of the Peavey PR15N's....Actually Two Sets Now. I ran them with a Mackie FR-800 for quite sometime now a set. The sound is Superb when you listening to them. But like i said, Dont Push Them Too Hard. Kepp your gain on your amp at about 5 or 6 and Pump The Volume on your Board/Mixer. Anything higher than that might cause that crossover to burn out ...Like I did. Great Sound; But dont over do it.

"Bullet Proof. Great speakers for a great price."
Great speakers, good sound, great durability, extremely good value.
They are rated at 400W @ 8 ohms (Program) I have a behringer mixer that puts out 300 @ 8ohms a channel. i wouldn't push them harder than that.
Sound
Really great speakers for the money. Very very clear, the compression drivers and its crossovers are matched perfectly. Low end response is great if you have a decent sized mixer/amp powering them. But in a large room (such as our school's gym) they don't produce much bass. I'm currently searching for a subwoofer to compliment the speakers.
Features
Tweeter protection is great, its saved me twice. The lightweight boxes are amazing! At first i was skeptical about the plastic boxes and sound output. nothing to worry about. the boxes are very durable. ive had drunks knock them off of stands and hit concrete. just some scratches and they keep playing fine!
Ease of Use
Really doesn't apply here. just plug and play.
Quality
great quality. the only problem that i have is the tweeter protection fuse sometimes doesn't make good contact. to repair you dont need to unplug the speaker.
Value
BANG FOR THE BUCK! These speakers are the best that you can get for $200.
Manufacturer Support
I've never had to contact Peavey for any of their products.

"NOT VERY EXPENSIVE, FULL SOUND PA SYSTEM."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I never had PEAVEY products, but while doing my research I saw many people saying about high relayability of their products. I compared this speaker to Yamaha BR15(much heavier, bass is not that full).
Sound
Full BASS and very good mid and hights. I did a lot of research for the PA system and opted PR15 for the price+quality=value. You can not beat it for the price. I'm running pair of PR15 through Yamaha
EMX312 and it outputs very clear full sound. Exellent BASS, I had to reduce bass on the channel when tested it with a fender strat guitar, bass sound like a bass guitar is buing played. Vocal sound very clear and full with sureM58 mic as well. Overall the speakers sound very good, at least for the money, just make sure they are driven by the good quality amplifier.
Features
Very light for the power and size, easily could be handled by one person. Seem to be durable.
