Introduction ~~~~~~~~~ As a gigging musician since the year 1843... (Ok I may be exaggerating slightly -lol!!) ... more accurately; as a gigging musician with 25 years experience I've had quite a lot of experience with PA speakers (PA in this context = Public Address System; as might be used by a band, DJ or installed in a Social Club or Church etc). One of the better known makes of PA equipment is Peavey; in fact they have been gaining an increasing market share over the past decade, at least among the musicians and DJ's I know. The name Peavey is much uttered among the formerly mentioned; but is this acclaim justified or is it all clever ...  Read the complete review

I have used Peavey equipment here and there for many years and when I decided to treat myself to a brand new set of speakers the Pro15 range seemed really good value for money even when they first came out. Peavey wouldn't put their name to iffy gear now would they? Hm. Anyhow my first ever brand new purchase of PA speakers was a pair of Pro15's and the matching Bass bins. Was I happy with them?...No. Are they good value for money?...No Do I wish I'd bought a decent pair of second hand HiSys?.. Yes, very definitely! The truth is that if you are a serious about your sound then these things will just not do the biz. Hardware is awful. Piezo tweets ...  Read the complete review

I have already reviewed the Peavey PRO-12 speakers, which, for all purposes are the little brothers of these, the Peavey PRO-15. I will do my best not to make this review a comparison piece but I will apologise in advance if, at times, it seems I am compariong the two. As with all Peavey products, these are high quality in build, design and audio output. The speaker cabinet is protected by strong black carpet, something which seems to be the norm when discussing professional speakers. The dimensions of these speakers are 25.6" high, 18.1" wide and 15.4" deep. Not huge, you'll agree, but big enough to make an impact wherever you set them up. They ...  Read the complete review

I have personally used these in my band for well over a year now and they have held up reasonably well. They are carpeted exterior with a silver painted front grill covering the speaker cone. They are pretty sturdy and well built. Having used a really bad set of 100 watt p.a speakers before this these definitely feel like a step up and i'm really happy that I bought them. I do alot of shouting for my metal band and I have found they have have trouble handling a loud SPL from my Shure SM58 though and have a tendency to start clipping. This could cause issues with Direct Input instruments such as keyboards. They also give quite a middle heavy response and therefore CD's ...  Read the complete review

My son is in a heavy, heavy, metal band and over the course of 2 years he as gone through quite a few sets of speakers, mainly the tweeters keep blowing. I've spent countless money on repairs and replacements. Then, I bought a pair of these babies, together with a separate amp for the bass, so all of the power from his studio master goes to the tops. Its worked out fantastically. The sound is clear, but powerful, just what you'd expect from Peavey equipment, and up to now, 8 months down the line, they are still working fine. They have been knocked about quite a lot and apart from the surface of the case getting a bit fluffy, there still intact, and still look ...  Read the complete review
