Has anyone used or heard the Yorkville YX15?

I know this is their low end line that is made in China, but I'm looking for a cheap 15" monitor for a church youth group.  A pair will be powered off one side of a Yamaha P3500S.  The budget is less then $200 each.  How are they say compared to a Yamaha BR15M?

I would venture to guess it is a step up in quality from the BR series. It's made of ply instead of particle board and uses a 1" exit celestion driver.

I am not impressed AT ALL by the BR series from yamaha. Not after being screamed at by a certain band's singer lady who had a hangover and took the oppourtunity to remind me and the audience between and during each song that she couldn't hear herself even though I was running the wedges balls out. And another time when someone was complainig that the BR's weren't loud enough I ended going up on stage to hold the wedge about 3' from his head for the rest of the set to stop his whining. They never seemed to get loud enough. It wasn't my rig or wedges though thank God.

Maybe some used sm112iv monitors would be ideal for your application?
