Your general opinion of this product.
I had some older JBL Eons that had a wedge style back and only one handle on one side - don't get me wrong, I love JBL's quality etc.. but my Mackie Thumps weigh a few pounds less, have a handle on each side and one on top also have straight lines on the back of the speakers with recessed controls making handling and loading way easier. They sound as good to me as the JBL's. (Sold the Eons and bought an additional pair of these !)

Best features are power to weight ratio and ergonomic shape.I do wish there was a 1/4 inch unbalanced input for more versatility.

Great tone - strong bass and great highs. Not to mention the additional flexibility the EQ in/out function on the back provides.

General
Your general opinion of this product.
THis product is great for its price and it should be used accordingly. It sounds wonderful at low volume. It tends to clip at about half the volume. Also I purchased a set 1 year ago and used it once for a wedding ceremony and then it died. It was still under warranty but I was without a speaker for 6 weeks. The verdict was...dust. Seems kinda weird. Just remember what you are buying and don't expect to get $800 sound out of a $350 speaker. I have moved on to a higher quality higher spl speaker as this is what the th15 is lacking the most.

Haven't had it long enough to rate for dependability, but it does seem fairly well made. No rattles, no hissing or huffing sounds when cranked, and it feels very sturdy. Being my first plastic speaker, I expected it to feel cheap. It feels very solid, even though it is light.
Features

The defeatable EQ is a huge plus. Very easy to use it for multiple tasks. Cut the highs a tad, cut the lows a bit, and it is a very loud and clear floor monitor. Defeat the EQ, Set up two, and it would be a killer small-house DJ setup.

Sound
How is the tone?
Very bottom-heavy. I am using it as a bass guitar monitor (using a Line 6 X3 Live), and it works very nicely. I actually roll off the bass a little on the speaker's EQ. Nice, clear, punchy, and LOUD! Way more than I actually need for an onstage amp replacement.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
As long as the reliabilty of this unit never comes into question, I have no qualms with recommending it to anyone who needs a loud powered speaker that is fairly versatile. This would be great for starting bands, DJ work, Mains, monitors, anything. I can see this going a long way if coupled with a decent sub.... but it will handle the low end reasonably well without one. Not to mention, they are really light!

The cabniets seem well made and we will see how dependable they turn out to be. Used them the night I got them and ran them about 5 hours both with band and music during break.

Features

For my acoustic trio these are a no brainer. Easy set up. They sound great. Only feature Mackie needs to add is a lock screw so they won't turn on the speaker stands. Other then that, so far so good. One other feature I wish Mackie would add is a plasic door that covers all the knobs on the back. If anything hits them, I'm afraid they will snap off...

Pretty much plug and play. The one thing you will need though is two extra extenstion chords as the powers chords that come with it are only about 5 feet long. I use zippy ties on the speaker stands so the weight of the chords are not on the speaker connection alone.

Tone is good. Just switch off the back of the speaker EQ and use your board to dial them in.
