ZLX 12P : Very functional and sounds good for the price

You might read some critical reviews about this speaker on the web, but I'm not sure they're fair. I bought one of these speakers to try out as a wedge monitor / FOH speaker for smaller events and I plan to order several more based on first impressions.

The cabinet appears solid. I don't feel any flex in the cabinet - certainly not under normal handling. We tried the speaker out in a 80' venue and people came in from next door to find out what the noise was - this was trying to run it into the limit at 2o'clock in the afternoon though.

As a pair it should be capable of reasonable level for FOH duties, I would imagine especially if crossed over subs, and should be perfectly capable for monitor duties on most band stages.

This speaker isn't quite as compact as I'd pictured it, but that may just have been me being hopeful - I still plan to use more ZLX12Ps as I don't think any 10" would be able to keep up with this on FOH duties.
