Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Quality is rock solid... I did have one of the blue LED lights on the front of the speaker go out the second time I used it, but Berhinger warrantied the speaker with out any hassle, and it still sound fine.

Plug in the power, run a line to your mixer, turn it on, adjust the level, You're done. Unlike other speakers (mentioned above) it does not have a line/mike switch. Both functions are controlled by the level control, 0 to 12 o'clock is for a line feed. 12 o'clock and beyond is for direct connection of a mike.
Sound
How is its Tone?
I've owned these for 2 weeks as of this review, used them for 5 gigs so far including 2 outdoor events for a total of about 25 hours of use. Never set the level to a point where it clipped and watched the output level on my mixer to make sure it didn't hit the "red". These speakers were pushed hard especially at the outdoor events. They were plenty loud with no distortion and excellent sound. I have a 5 band equalizer on my mixer, they required very little eq ing and produced excellent sound across the range. The Mackie 450's sound a bit clearer but not enough to make them worth twice the price. Overall I'm very impressed so far. If they hold up over the long haul these will be the best sound investment I've made. At $300.00 per cabinet if you are looking for a powered speaker, you'd be an idiot not to give these a try. The only reason I didn't give them a five is that they produce a slight hiss when idle, but as soon a any sound goes through them, completey un-noticable.
