I use this for my guitar sythesizer, and everything sounds great - vibes, B3 organ, keyboards, strings, etc. This really made a differece in my live sound. I gave it a 9 only because at low volumes (like a practice room) it is really noisy, but once you turn up to moderate performance volume, it's clean.

It's lighweight, easy to transport. It has an EQ on the rear, but I never use it - I just set it flat and tweak the EQ through the board. My only complaint is that it comes with a relatively short power cord. Once it's up on the speaker stand, you need another extension cord.

Plug and play.

Seems to be well built and durable, but I've only played a few gigs with it. I wish it had a padded case - I can't find one on the market that fits it.

For what I use it for, it's a good value for what I paid. I'm not sure if the "real" Mackie's are worth another $300 (for a 12", not even a 15").

The first one I bought was really noisy - they sent out a new one, no questions asked, with a pre-paid UPS return slip for the old one. Very nice.

If you have the money, buy the high-end stuff, but for a budget, the Thump is a good deal.

I am new to this but these speakers are everything I hoped for. hooked lap top up sounds great. Hooked ipad sounds great to me.

Did not need support.

I like the sound and how big it is for their size. Though the high mids are a bit too sharp but that's easily fixed with an eq. Better then being to low. The speakers are thumpin' but I wish they had a bit more depth(thinking about getting a sub). Good for dj-pratice in the studio and as a reference when mixing songs. My genelec 8030A does not go as deep and can not play as loud.

I love the fact that they are active and light as hell. The eq is good thing to have but I rarely use it. And it's not the best, but definitley good. Since it's just a speaker no more features is needed. At least not for me.

Just freakin' plug it in and play. Easy!

Even though they are light they seem durable. The plastic cover makes them look cheap but it's ok.

I got a great deal at the local music store here, better then any online store and the sound for the price is great!

No problems yet.

They look cool as hell but the plastic cover looks a bit cheap but they look a lot better then many other PA-speakers on the market.

Sounds great, really does THUMP!

I like being able to bypass the onboard EQ...

So far so good...

Can't beat the price for the sound quality you get!

nice looking, but let's face it, they're SPEAKERS!
