Mpro and JRX cabinets are not mid line cabinets.

Mpro and JRX cabinets are not mid line cabinets.

No one said the JRX was.  But the Mpro 400 was 2 steps above the SF (now JRX) and 1 step below SR so what would you call them?

Keeping in mind that SR/SRX is top of the "portable" line.

The JBL MPro 412s are good speakers and well worth $600.00 a pair if in good shape with original speakers.  I had a pair for years that I replaced with SRX 712s.

A decent entry level cabinet. The stars of the group would be the 15" and 18" sub that uses the 2241.

Craigslist ad : Pair of  JBL MPro 412  $600.

Yes?  No?    If, yes, then best use, tops for small rig, center fills or monitors or all of the above?   I have the specs, just want some real world opinions.

Just to keep the right perspective, I don't need any more speakers at the moment but if they were a great deal,and they look like new in the photos ; I might find a use for them.

Edited for additional info.

only if they are in EXCELLENT condition, should be more like $500 for the pair. As someone said, the MPro 400 series was replaced by the MRX, the MPro 200 series is different animal and not in a good way. I own (6) MPro 415s and do like them. I've used them for tops and monitors. They are good for the appropriate application. I use my SRX/STX for the more serious stuff.

I have a pair of MRX512 in excellent condition, $600 would be the price I'd be asking if I were selling, so for the MPro412 its a little high.

I ran across some Mpro 412's at a fair today. 2 for mains, 2 for monitors. Talent show with backing tracks plus some acts with acoustic guitars/keyboards/DI bass etc. No drums. I thought that even though they were being driven by a behringer 8 channel powered head mixer that they sounded pretty good. The mixer had 250 watts available for the mains with the same for the monitors. They filled the 50 wide , 40 deep room (aprox) fine. I'll post a picture from when I was in the room before.

Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like they're good cabinets but not a steal and perhaps bordering on being outdated?  I was hoping maybe they were a real steal and I'd have a reason to add them to replace my tops  in my small system or for extra monitor duty.

Found out the wife took all my petty cash stash to pay some bills so I guess I'm out of this deal anyway now as it doesn't seem to be worth borrowing money for.

I had 3 pairs of mp412. Liked them a lot and swear by them. Recently replaced them with ev sx300 not that the ev is any superior but because it's still in production and I can buy as many as I need and I can get parts (esp the HF diaphragms easily)
