Internal crossover incorrect connection !!!

Important!!! Overall a good product. Crossover (12 dB/Oct low pass filter, 6 dB/Oct high pass filter with attenuation and tweeter protection), but the polarity of the tweeter needs to be reversed !!! I simulated the circuit with the "XSim" crossover designer software.

Very good value for money

Use: mainly home for rehearsals and the occasional small gig. Uusally on top of 1x15 subs. Power amp Behringer KM750.

Good points: Power rating 300w continuous. Solidly made, very good frequency response for a 12 inch full range. Loud enough for me, and good clarity at almost all volumes (not when running too quiet, which is not what a sound reinforcement speaker should be doing anyway).

Bad points: the monitor conversion feet are a bit feeble in comparison to the massive construction of the cabinets. They are pretty heavy, which might be an issue for some, not me.

General: I like these a lot, as you can tell from the rating. Great punchy sound clear sound and look to be as tough as you could ask. Now to be a little contentious if I may, and for what it's worth. The user manual says "The amps maximum RMS output power should be 50% above the power handling capacity of the connected speakers." I've been playing live for almost 40 years and my experience of bits of cone flying about and melted coils and crossovers, even with amps and cabinets exactly matched in power rating, tells me that this is the exact opposite of what I will ever do. I have had overpowered speakers fail within minutes. I always try to have at least 50% headroom in the speakers. The last cone failure was on a pair of full range tops rated at 250w continuous being driven by a 200w RMS amp. The argument is that doing it my way can overload the amplifier, but I have never once had a solid state amp fail or even shut down from thermal protection.

Conclusion, buy these speakers, they're really good.
