The sound from these is nice and tight, as you would expect from a 15, and there's ample punch for most any type of program material ... live or recorded.
The DuraFlex finish on the cabinet appears rugged and I really like the security of the threaded pole mount.
However ...
The noise from the cooling fan is quite excessive. At 2' from the back of the cabinet the fan noise at idle is 74 db with the droning sound of the motor resonating the cabinet at 350 Hz.
The fan noise can even be heard throughout the room along with the program material.
I just can't imagine that JBL let this go out the door without noticing.
you can indeed pick them up since they weigh only 56 lbs. !
