For my band (guitar + bass + drums + keyboard) is completely autonomous in our live performances, I ordered a bundle with 2 speakers TS115A V2, 2 feet aluminum and 2 XLR cables 10m, all for less than € 600.

I chose 15 "to avoid adding a box while preserving the response at low frequencies, and to obtain a compact and mobile set (not back stage, no baffle for the bass amp). Seen power integrated amps pregnant (see below), no problem to make the bass properly whatever the overall volume.

Reminder features and comments:
- Pregnant broad band active 2-way 15 "+ 1"
- Power: 400 Watt RMS 800 Watt peak (the miracles of the D!)
- 2x mic or line inputs (Hi-Z inputs, you can plug a guitar directly in, but I recommend going through a preamp or a table with a eq)
- Connectors combo jack / XLR (very convenient, but dislodges more easily than just XLR)
- Volume control per channel
- Parallel XLR output
- Trapezoidal shape with side handles (for practice and move them on foot or back foot baths)
- Dispersion: 100 ° x 60 °, long-range flag
- Allows air or floor mounting (screw clamp included)
- Switch mass
- Red LED clipping
- Dimensions: 67.9 x 43 x 38.5 cm
- Weight: 18 kg

My setup is as follows:
- A table Allen & Heath Zed 10 FX (ultra compact, very good equation)
- 2 speakers Alto TS115A
- Head bass amp DI (used only as a preamp)
- Guitar amp with a microphone to dub the sound of good scratch
- 1 microphone for kick and one overhead for drummer
- 2 stereo line for keyboards
- 1 microphone singing

The speakers are not equipped eq, which is an advantage for me because I prefer to have a single source eq (my table) with specific instrument settings to their preamps (bass, guitar, keyboards).
The bass is quite present in the midrange and is very well defined in serious conflict with no keyboards.
Acute are returned without being aggressive, and the grain of the guitar-effect-amp chain is respected.

Mechanical side, fixing feet delivered in the bundle is minimalist. Integrated clamping screw gets the job done, but the whole is still a bit shaky. A monitor!

I will update this review as and when our next gigs.
