(More customer reviews)For the money, these are hard to beat. While the manufacturer suggests 1000 watts RMS, 2000 watts Peak, don't confuse this rating with a pro series JBL, EAW, etc., of similar rating. While this speaker is impressive, it's not to be confused with a $700 speaker cabinet.
Actually it's quite light weight. It can be lifted easily due to the lighter grade cabinet material, and modest internal components. Obviously the drivers don't equal those found in other brands, but Pyle it makes up for it in this particular model with quantity. In this case, more is merrier. Because they are generously rated high whether it's accurate or not, they do need to be driven hard in order to get a full sound and for the bass to become rich and thumping. I don't like volume maxed out all the time so I was able to make up for this deficiency through my outboard processing in my rack. An Aphex Aurial Exciter really makes things things come alive. An EQ alone won't do it. The mesh grill covering the cabinet is not the hardened steel you would hope for. One minor ding and the grill is dented for sure. You can push the grill in with two fingers. The material covering the enclosure is not heavy duty, but it does the job and looks very nice. It's not like an automotive carpet you'll find on Cerwin Vegas. More of a soft, fuzzy, but dense fabric material. But it is durable and will take plenty of hits. The 17" midrange horn, again, is not super heavy duty. The horn housing is much thinner plastic than you'll find on other brands. Meaning that if these fall over face first, the horn housing may very well crack. However the horn is somewhat protected by the cabinet design that protrudes just below and above the horn. One major draw back is the fact that you can't bypass the internal crossover if you wanted to bi, or tri-amp. I pair these towers up with an additional pair of Pyle PASW18" sub enclosures. The 18's are just a bit wider so the PADH215 sits nicely on top with a little room to spare. So for me, on each side of the stage I got an 18" sub, dual 15's, mid horn, & piezo highs. And I would love to be able to tri-amp this system without modification. So for right now I simply run everything in series parallel. But I have to be careful not to overdrive the amp. Even still, as is with my system, it flat out will rumble a very large banquet room or hall. I use it for DJ, & a live rock band as well.
One great thing about Pyle, should you need to repair the cabinet at anytime, they have all the individual components and parts at an affordable price. Unlike other manufacturers that stick it to you with replacement parts.
In conclusion, I definitely think for $500/600 for a pair of these things is indeed a good value. Far less than the price of a single cabinet of another major brand of similar configuration. Just remember, it needs to be processed to bring out the fullness. And if you do blow up a component, it won't cost you an arm and a leg for repair.
