Nice cheap speakers

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use these as monitoring speakers in my room for home studio use, and as low end speakers for live gigs. In my room I just have them hooked up to a home theater system, no need for ridiculous volume in the house, and that way its all in stereo unlike my old poweramp for shows. as for shows, 100w with the right tweeking is good enough for about any show you'd need to put together. Overall, they are good speakers. if you don't like them, just return them.

insult to pro audio
By RPCVerified Reviewer from Ohio on 8/11/2008
Pros:
None
Cons:
Every word in the book
Best Uses:
Garbage can or dumpster
Describe Yourself:
Audio Engineer, Professional DJ
Primary use:
Business
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

spend a few more bucks and get Peavey, JBL, QSC, EV, or Yamaha. These things are very poor, piezo mids and tweeters sound VERY harsh, very cheap cabnets, cheap all the way around. I always laugh at anyone using these speakers. thes would look beautiful in a dumpster or on the side of the road waiting for the garbage man to pick them up and take them where they belong. these speakers are not worth the box they are packaged in.

I read the reviews and said why not?
I have a Peavey 420 watt mixer,and these will handle that without any distortion. I have ran Bass,guitar,keyboards,vocals all with thundering lows and shimmering highs.
Since my mixer is set up for monitors i'm going to get the smaller 75 watters
to run as monitors. I havn't tried running these at full volume but I can tell you this with my amp at half volume that's 105 watts going to each speaker my neighbors hear me loud and clear. The only thing I can suggest is
speaker stands if you gig out a lot,the screens are metal but flimsy.Also make sure to get a minnimum 16 gauge speaker wire.

Great PA Speaker

Bottom Line:

I bought one of these after reading many of the reviews around the internet. 45/50 people enjoy this product and I am one of those people. If you have a good amp to send a signal to the PA speaker you will be pleased with the sound that this speaker offers. Its got great power and it costs next to nothing for it's size. I use it for replaying mixes that I have created for my band. It is a great speaker.

I bought 2 of these for my pa system. I use them to project my drum machine and vocalist from a 700 watt amp. They suit my purpose, but would have to say you need a massive amp to be able to power them. At 150 watts, you just start to get the bass. It may be because of the design, but you definately need some power to enjoy these to the fullest. I've overdriven them quite a bit and have found that they have minimal distortion. Perfect for vocals.

 
Sweet for there price

These speakers are pretty sweet. They pack a masive punch when it comes to bass, and earsplitting highs. I have a 600 watt powered mixer for them and it makes those 15s bounce!
The only problem with that is when the bass gets loud there this buzzing comin out of the one orf the tweeter like air is seeping through.
Its not very notacable unless ur right in front of the speaker. And i would recommend putting the maximum wattage(300)through them.

Do Not Buy, Save for Quality

Cons:
Flimsy, Hard to Clean, Noisy, Poor Controls, Unreliable, Unstable
Best Uses:
None
Describe Yourself:

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

These speakers are an insult to Audio Theory in every way. They were clearly designed by someone with no concept of sound waves and patters, or they would know that putting piezo and horn tweeters in a horizontal array causes cancellation and very harsh bad highs. They would have also known that 15" drivers do not produce good midrange. If you are looking to buy speakers, do your homework and if you are on a tight budget at least look into some low end yamahas or JBLs. As a DJ and a pro audio designer, I chuckle to myself everytime I see a speakers with a red lined driver because I know exactly what it is and exactly how horrible it will sound. If you don't believe me, buy it. Then, compare it to a quality PA speaker and hope that you can return it.

i really have to say that i was quite surprised.
i have a pair of these speakers hooked up to my integra 6.4 in a 10x10 bedroom in the basement. the walls windows and doors shake.
i'm sure every house will be a bit different but my results are purley a phenomenon for the price.
the only thing i don't like about these speakers is how power picky they seem to be, but with a decent system and a little tuning, their a really nice pair of beginner speakers.

These speakers are the best. When I just started as a pro sound technician, I needed something I could carry on the road to setup for gigs. I thought I would need to replace them after a few years but they are 3 years old and sound as good as they did on day one. I have pumped as much as 450 Watts from each one of my pair before, and no damage. Excellent bass, awesome crossover, and the best freq. response range!!!!!! :)

I have been DJing for 35 years and these speakres are the best value I have ever found. I use two of these as my mains and two dimension 2000;s as my subs. I push it all with a Peavey 600watt amp and have never had it up over 50%. (by that time the db level is painful.) Great speakers, I would recommend them to any user.

Suprised in a Good Way!

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is one of the best full range speakers I've heard. I'm very surprised at the sound quality, but in a good way. Highs and mids carry clearly and the bass in amazing for a package like this.

To top this off I've only tested the two I own with 80 watts (40 each) of power which is denying them each 110 of the 150 RMS watts. In reality, I haven't heard half of the power in these monsters and it still sounds great...and loud. I can't wait to get a pro amp on these!

This is a great buy! You can't beat the price. All you need is power and an audio source. I will be adding an E/Q for control of the sound and some 15 or 18 inch subs to get the even lower bass, but above that the Radio Shack 150 2-way has you covered!

If you're on a budget, 2 of these are the way to go. If you have money to throw around, get 4 or more (in multiples of 2) because they look great stacked and you won't go broke putting enough power to them!

By Aaron M from Madison, ME on 3/16/2006
Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Good Value, Reliable

This 150-watt 2-Way Monitor Speaker out-performs more than any other speaker I have. With 2 tweeters, 1 horn driver, and a huge 15'' woofer; you can be sure it will rock your house or where ever you put it. For how loud you put the volume up, this speaker produces impressive crystal clear sound with amazing bass. I reccomend purchasing a pair, cranking them up and enjoy!
