the box CL 110 Top MK II

Well - 4 gigs in - and these little chaps are doing very well indeed. I use them with a pair of Peaveys Pro subs (passive) running at 500 watts RMS per side.

Now - I think the amp may be a bit too powerful for these even taking the subs into account - but I have not had any issues yet. I play in a 4 piece rock band on the usual 'pub circuit' and there is more than enough wallop. The vocals cut through lovely - great tone - nice balance - spot on really.

Now, I wouldnt bother with these without subs - if you are in a rock band or similar they will NOT have the 'oomph' you need - there is bass for sure - but not that proper low down bass that makes everything exiting - forget tryin' to but the bass drum through these.

As satellites - they are brilliant - and they look the nuts as well - impressive build quality.

We were using a pair of 15 inch Peaveys before - but this sub and CL110 combination knocks the old Peaveys for six.

Cons? woulda been handy to have parallel inputs perhaps? Oh - and the top-hats are tight on the poles - but that MAY be my sh*tty old poles?

All in all - thoroughly recommended!

And - as always - stellar service from Thomann.

I ordered a pair of these for performing in smaller venues where I sing and play lead guitar with custom backing tracks.

I was immediately taken by how solid they feel and how good they looked on the stands. The first time I tried them out at a gig was at a new venue and I could see the bar staff looking at them and probably wondering where the rest of the speakers were going to go. Since it was a newly opened bar they had been trying out a variety of acts and had been overwhelmed by the nameless idiots who turned up with subs and 15" tops blasting out at ridiculous volume to a bar that could only hold 50 people at best..

I am now a regular in the bar.. These little speakers are perfectly capable of filling out the room with plenty of bottom end and nice clear highs and mid frequencies.
I have also used them at a beach gig with a pair of 12" Achat subs and had no problem playing to 300 people.

Would recommend buying the protective bags for these as I have done. In my experience with this type of finish, they can quite easily be damaged with only a minor impact. Would have liked to have seen a thru connector on the back instead of a single speakon but hey, look at the price..
