MA8/2 CL : Great for the price

This is a very clear and loud little monitor. Don't expect it to do everything, and its low end lacks but for vocals/keys etc. it works great.

I use this in a function band, and it's the perfect size for slinging in the car and is small enough to fit on even the tiniest stages. Requires minimal EQ and sounds as good as the other 8" monitor we have that cost 4 times as much.

The rubberised handle is a bit rubbish as when you lift the monitor up it traps the rubber coating and cuts it up, so it probably won't last. The foam on the grill isn't glued down well in the corners either, but there's a grille underneath for protection.

Overall though, it's fantastic for how little it costs and as long as you're not expecting to put kick/snare/bass etc. through it, it punches well above its weight.
