Value For Money : Correct
For how long have you been using it?

I just buy it, I did some testing in-store and on returning home, I'll try to give a brief explanation.
Level sound is good without being outstanding invoice. There is noise a bit too quickly in the treble (which quickly spit it ...). However, bass are present, and many returned.

You should know that I intend to use it as a floor for a band-sounding rock. Max power 220W with sufficient air, but I will certify that (though I think) Sunday. Indeed they will test as onstage Saturday night ...

I use it coupled with a passive R8S. The two coexist very well.

What thing do you like most/least about it?

The pros: It looks nice enough, his cutaway for returns, its size (very small!) His weight, his bag came with when buying the pack with 2 speakers (R8A and R8S)

Les -: I think his power is somewhat low (but that price is not going to complain ...) the acute spit a little too fast.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

I tried the Gemini of Whafedale, of Phonic, and then other stuff very old but still running very well ... I would not put the same level (especially for gemini and Wharfedale), especially as the others I tried was the higher power, but I think they are really good but not transcendent. I think that in return for the concert stage they must be just, and for the return of DJ, they are sufficient.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?

Correct. Bought for 350 euros a pack of 2 speakers (1 active and passive + carry bag and cable Speakon). This is not a report but it is crazy in the standard.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

For now I will ever be happy with this choice. But we will really after the concert.
