MA100 : No Handle, Little bass, Not bad though...

We have recently replaced these (we have 2) with some Wharfedales EVPs which are brilliant. Anyway the Box MA100s aren't bad little things. We have used them extensively for nearly 2 years. The problem we had was that they dont really produce bass. So the sound gets very muffled very quickly unless you cut all bass frequencies out. I would say that these would be good for an open mic situation or solo artist in a small venue or for lifting vocals during practice.

As an acoustic band, we now only use them for amplifying vocals during practice. This works quite well for us as the new monitors are big and loud and completely unnecessary for practice. But by lifting the vocals above the other instruments we can practice without straining. I hope this helps.
