Hey guys. I'm in the market for a pair of PA speakers. I was browsing my local Guitar Center today and they had these on sale with a special holiday tag for around 250 bucks each! Retail was around 650, from what I remember. I know these are the predecessors to the G2s and are powered, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this particular model. For 500+tax, it seems like a steal.

i had a pair of them for years, they sounded good and never let me down, they only lack a little bit of punch that you get with the g2, still a steal of a deal though

those speakers were meant to compete with the srm-450's and while they don't sound as great, they are for sure worth 250 each. They are also really reliable (one club i dj at has been using it as a monitor for several years now). They also don't overheat as much as the mackies.

yea they have really good thermal protection...i have had one overheat on me versus the mackie srm's overheating on me everytime i play out for extended sets at full volume before distortion.

Finally bought 1 for $273 shipped from GC. They applied a 15% Sam Ash coupon I had. I was so tempted to buy another but 1 is really all I need at the moment.
