I used these speakers live on stage two weeks ago at a ball. They were connected to two other JBL speakers of the same series but a bit bulkier. My drummer and I (bass) noticed that they sound very loud (there were between 300 and 400 people at the ball) but also produce a lot of noise, and lows are imprecise. They were connected to a small Peavey PV 10 or 12-input mixer, an Alesis reverb effect, two good QFC amps and a small Yamaha EQ. It's important to describe the whole setup used with the product. Because I know you can get a good sound with it (the only thing I didn't know was the mixer). Of course, considering the output power of the speakers, the hum noise might seem unimportant to the audience! It wasn't a problem for them, it wasn't a concert!!
As a summary, these speakers sound very good for this sort of music but you'll need to do something about them if you want to use them at a concert. I personally own two EV SX300.
They sound great but lack a bit of power.
