These are great for rocking a small bar or club. We own two of them and have had no complaints. Crisp sound and with a good board, you can still have the bass of 15 or 20" speakers.

Just recieved a pair I purchased to use as stage monitors. I could see why some could use these as PA speakers they have good power, tone and are nice and compact. As monitors I'm waiting until after a couple of gigs and some realworld use until I decide on another pair. Only problem as monitors is not to lay them on the right side as this crimps the I/O cords.

Complaints I've found usually refer to miss-use or over expectations. My experience has been very good...I do a little research and buy what is "proper" for the situation...no complaints so far, and don't really expect I'll submit any.

I was first impressed when I unpacked these speakers. They were much lighter and and far more compact than I expected. The 2 band EQ and the choice of XLR or 1/4" inputs are nice features. The speakers produced a nice clean sound and did exactly what I'd expect a 12" powered speaker to do in this price range. I have been playing professionally for over 30 years using all brands and sizes of speakers and I think these speakers offer a lot of bang for the buck! DJ's who have 20 years experience should know better than to expect the same thumping, pumping bass performance from these compact speakers as they would a heavey rack of power amps and boat anchor speakers. Let's face it, DJ's are bass hungry and should know that bass requires large subs and lots of power! And if you order a scratch and dent pair then you are taking a chance in the first place. I use these speakers for my guitar/vocal MIDI tracks solo act and I am pleased with the overall tone response and volume for small to medium sized venues. If you are looking for more bass response then order the B215A's. They are much larger and heavier but do give a good bass response. And for the money they are much better than the overpriced powered 15" JBL's in my opinion.

I bought the Behringer B212A speakers after checking out the QSC and a couple of other similar type speaks. Sure glad that I did. These things really kick! We have a four piece band, keys, drums, guitar, bass. We play quite a lot, 200 plus shows a year, and the Behringers coupled with a pair of 15" powered subs have more than handled all the different rooms we play in and some are pretty darn big. Even outside venues are no problem with these speakers. They're very clear and have good punch at low and high volume. You can crank 'em if you need to. No problem. I'm buying another pair!

Junk? I don't think so! As for anything in the 12" category, you can't beat these. The highs are crisp and they voice really well with Behringer mixer. They may not like bass thumping rap music, but if you want to mic a small band, then these are fo you!
