I bought them secondhand in 2004: two SRM450 with two SWA1501 subwoofers made in Italy...

I've used them for about 400 gigs since and I haven't had any problem.

First of all, I compared them live with some Chinese models and there is SIMPLY NO COMPARISON!!! Except for the look these are fully different products.

I use them for FOH applications (with the subwoofers) with my band (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard and vocal) in clubs, medium size halls and small open air venues (up to 500 persons). I feed them with a 01V96 V2.

With an EQ in the mixer output to correct the mids (which can sound aggressive sometimes), the upper highs (a bit too weak, especially at high output volumes) and the possible acoustic problems of the room. I get a very good sound and a good definition regardless of the volume. Unlike the Chinese models, the speakers have a good feedback rejection.

The size/output power/sound quality ratio is really excellent.

Currently, only RCF speakers can compete with this system.

I'm still fully satisfied with this speaker system.
